John, whenever I do that.. And I do it very often.. I first tell them, and get approval and agreement that I own the code..<div><br></div><div>if they disagree. then I rewrite it all on their time, and I do it differently.. still good.. just not a copy... its their time.. and their money.. I will also write a comment in the note that the material is "based on" pre-existing dated material.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Most companies agree.. They like to make efficient use of time.. but in doing so they have to have a royalty free use of the code given.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 12:25 PM, John Bird <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:johnkbird@paradise.net.nz">johnkbird@paradise.net.nz</a>></span> wrote:<br>

have written for myself often get copied into work projects simply to avoid<br>
reinventing the wheel. I tend to make it a separate unit or make a note in<br>
the code that it was orginally from outside, (nothing major as otherwise I<br>
would sell it), but certainly lots of code to do with speeding coding,<br>
<br>
examples are<br>
<br>
GST rounding routines<br>
rounding up date times to end of day/ end of week/ end or month<br>
error logging code<br>
copying files with fuzzy logic to allow for date/time stamps having<br>
different granularity on different filesystems...<br>
<br>
and so on....<br>
