It's a nice idea, but for those of us who work for corporations, we don't have the legal right: copyright in anything we write is held by the company. Check your contract. Indeed, if you take my contract literally, anything I wrote at home on my PC would also be owned by the company -- and that could extend to any creative work, not just software. However, I think that that is unenforceable under UK law (there's something about contractual terms having to be fair and reasonable).
