Oh okay, they own the code... that's fine. I don't in general grant=20
ownership of any code that I write, just a nonexclusive license to utiliz=
e=20
it pretty much as they see fit. They pay me for my time, not for ownersh=
ip=20
of the code. Of course there are exceptions: trade secret stuff,=20
proprietary stuff, that I'll transfer ownership over. But I probably=20
wouldn't grant ownership over anything that can be utilized in a general=20
manner in lots of projects (framework-level code, for example).
