[dba-Tech] Software reselling and development agreements' samples...

Hi All,

If anybody has some typical subject's docs could you please e-mail them
to me?
What I need is a kind of contracting agreement defining conditions under
which a programmer works for a company writing new code and making
her/his own code invested in the products of this company. I wanted to
keep copyright on my own invested code(which I wasn't paid for by the
company) and algorithms  to maybe reuse them in my own products - all
the agreements I've seen so far are very limiting programmers' rights to
reuse such code IMO.

I wanted also to have clearly defined a "direct competition" term - what
can be considered as a direct competition with a software product on the
market? Should it be the one having, say, 80% of the features of the
another product or...?

If I use just part of the code of the software of the other company I
work for (which I allowed to use in my own products) how can I avoid to
go into direct competition with this company? - I don't want and I don't
plan to compete with it but I'm not sure I understand what "direct
competition" term means in details. Could you please shed some light on
this question?

TIA,
Shamil
