Wow.  It blows my mind that a corporation would think it could own what you
created on your own time, in your own home, on your own hardware.  I
seriously hope that you're charging all that you can.

I'd make a really rotten contract programmer.  I'd laugh for 20 minutes and
then tell them to fix it or go pound sand. :)  But that's just me.  I'm a
jerk like that. *grin*

Thanks for the answer Bob.
