- nkohari 18y agoInteresting. I hadn't read the background of WFH. I guess in this case we're talking about contract work, because there's no physical office or purchase of equipment (two tests that are typically applied in determining employee vs. contractor). That means that all of the created IP belongs to the author. (Although, again, IANAL. :)
