I'm in a different boat than you and perhaps a lot of other monks out there. I'm a sysadmin, the only sysadmin in this company. What I've written, I've done it just to make my life easier. When my Boss asks how I did what I did, I simply say "ritual human sacrifice". That's all they would believe anyway. Most of my Perl code was written at home, debugged at the office, and then put into place. Perl is my "hobby language" and I have no current restrictions about giving away the code. If I were to develop particular code for this particular company (I'm doing that now in C++) I'm bound by my employment agreement that that code belongs to the company, not to me. It's per their spec, using their data, and their machines. I have no problem with that. I certainly would not want anyone to violate any agreements with their employers about code distribution. "Licenses.....We don't neeed no steeeekin' licenses....
