This is why I said pay attention to what you sign.

I realize this, but most rookies don't. It pays to know your rights before you sign. Only those who are desperate don't read first.

I thought it was just one more thing to protect the coder who may not realize what they are getting into, if they read docs similar to what I posted.

Felt it was nice that an open repository corp threw out such a doc for people to read; I didn't intend to mean that it was binding.

It is up to everyone to do their due diligence when 'signing' up on a new gig, as the doc in question here is something an employee would have to show and have signed; it is not implied.

Goes without saying, that unless you're desperate for a job, do homework on the paperwork you're signing, and perhaps throw in some demands of your own (such as something I've referenced here). It's pretty binding if an executive or senior management person signs it, freeing one from culpability, liability or having to pass off ownership.
