My code was derived from code I got from IBM's Developer Works website and also ActiveState's website; all of which was released under the GPL. I made a lot of additions to the software of my own, but the parts from the above sources were integral pieces and without them, my code wouldn't work.
If the code you wrote was released under the GPL prior to your being hired by this company, then I would think the GPL license supersedes the IP agreement you signed. However, IANAL.
If they're violating the GPL, that's not very nice of them. I would talk to a lawyer who specializes in IP first, just to find out what the situation is. You'll have to decide for yourself, though, whether blowing the whistle on them is worth the possible consequences (being fired, countersuit of some kind, etc.).

If you've never seen good claymation, you should defintiely go rent/buy all of the W&G videos, and get a copy of Chicken Run also.

Hee hee, you say that like they don't. Everybody does read/., and we all do care that someone can boot Linux on the latest MP3 player, digital watch, camcorder, or toaster.
Thanks for pointing that out. I was going to comment that "condemned" seemed like a strong word, when all he got was a fine (and even that was suspended).

But I though Who was on first?
Nope. A Who was what Horton heard.
I bet it's in the Dubya Dikshunary. :)
...so they'll have PGA Tour '96 for me to play then, right? Or will I have to mail them my CD so they can install it?
...with Elmer Fudd as Sauron.
Sauron:
Kill da hobbit!
Kill da hobbit,
With my orcs and flying Nazgul!
Frodo:
Flying Nazgul?
Sauron:
Yes, flying Nazgul!
Let me give you a sample...
...bravo for using the word "adroitly". Don't see that one too often. :)
Just wait ten years, then they'll be collector's items. As long as they're still in the original packaging, that is.
Go run and tell your mommy. We'll wait for you.
Now I can surf pr0n while I've got the DT's.
I'll believe it when I see it.
At least you can trust your eyes. I can't, so I'll just have to wait until Netcraft confirms it.

...that all the standard next-gen Nintendo controllers will be wireless? Now that would be nice.
They were using it with a USB connection. FireWire != USB.
I think the "make something customers actually want" part pretty much covers that.
If it were not for that license, slashdot would not have had Linux as a sub-topic and Apache would not be having the standing it has on the web.
/., all we'd have to talk about would be Google and Apple.
You're right, without the GPL bringing Linux to
