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 -- e-mail: shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru Web: http://smsconsulting.spb.ru/shamil_s
