Title: RE: What are a programmer's rights to what he writes?

Now you are getting carried away! :) Yea and I have seen construction workers clean up after themselves, where that material goes is not my concern and I would be making a true statement knowing folks that do construction that usually they have the permission to scrap that is otherwise unusable. Now if a worker decides he needs a tapering jig while working on my house via a contract with a  company that hires subs to do my work, you are saying that I own the Jig or the person that hired him as a sub owns the Jig, cause I don't give a hoot about the Jig, just the work that the worker was supposed to do. That is why this is a bad analogy.

They can only take the tools they brought.  If they build a tool on the job using job materials, they can’t take it.  They can take the scrap only with permission.  Haven’t you seen guards checking lunch boxes?

But they get to take the tools home which they brought and perhaps the scrap material! Not a good analogy.
