Have you checked with an attorney on this?  My understanding was if you were
an employee, the employer owns everything.  If you are a consultant or
contractor, you retain ownership rights unless you have a contract to the
contrary.  This might be analagous to a photographer.  You pay the
photographer for the pictures but you do not have a legal write to make
copies of the pictures.  However, I am not an attorney and do not profess to
be so this is a question which should be posed to an attorney.
