There are lawyers who do this type of negotiation.
> HR/hiring people will look at you like you're some kind of weirdo if you balk at any of it. Here are the reactions to my reluctance as I recall them.
Right. Go over them. Your lawyer will talk to their lawyers, above the level of the HR people you would be talking to.

Which is a pretty reasonable requirement...

But that is not (or, rather, it can be in certain circumstances).
A good lawyer will negotiate these things for you. You should try to find one who actually understands software a bit. They do exist.
Disclaimer: I am not your lawyer. If you need a lawyer, you should get one.

- libertymcateer 10y agoWho is dodging what now? (Not trying to be facetious -forgive me, I'm just not really following.)
- fnordfnordfnord 10y agoWhen I was dropping out of college because I'd run out of money, I didn't have money to hire an attorney to negotiate an entry level tech/engineering job for me. >Which is a pretty reasonable requirement... You omitted the last part. I think it's pretty unreasonable to want that kind of service gratis.
