Bzzt. DSC isn't right. If it were, someone could hide things in the small print that say you are the person's personal slave. This isn't rational. It violates us all deeply.
I know this wouldn't be an issue in California. California law specifically excludes work done outside of the company from being attached by any contract. We have to look at what is reasonable. Your logic that anything signed is valid would lead to the ludicrous as in the "We've come for your liver" Monty Python sketch. Contracts cannot break the law or violate basic human rights and dignity.

I got this impression myself. MS has been fsking IBM since dos 3.x. IBM is saying 'you couldn't possibly kill us, and we have long memories.'

Anyone who still believes that Macroslab didn't 'leak' the halloween papers on purpose... Well, nuff said.
Never forget, disclaimers and licenses aren't worth the paper the're printed on if the law doesn't back up their claim.
the're -- contraction of 'they are'
their -- possesive; "It is their house"
there -- "look over there"

Bingo! If I were quicker on the posting, I might have said basically the same thing.
