Just drives home the point that you have to do your research before joining a new company, I'm not criticizing you at all, by the way, its just the more I have thought about software businesses the more I have realized how people can be used in this sort of fashion. I've gotten myself into an untenable situation before with a startup where I felt misled, for me, however I was able to quickly move on and I didn't have any IP that was exploited, so it wasn't that big a deal.
