If your employment contract includes the "work for hire" clause (which nearly all of them do, as a matter of course), and you don't get it waived, then no, it's not your code to do with as you please.
- tptacek 12y agoReminder: your employment contract does not need to say anything about WFH for your code to be considered WFH. Employee code is generally WFH.
- rosser 12y agoNo, they don't have to. They still often do, however. And when they do explicitly include such verbiage, it's easier to get it waived or amended (as I've been able to do at nearly every position I've ever taken). Counsel is far more likely to modify an existing clause than to add a new one, IME.
