I want to create a hobby project and release it under MIT. I work as a developer professionally and i have some clauses in my employment contract that gives any IP to my employer. My employer is open to amending these and/or adding exceptions for specific projects. Can anyone point to guidance resources on how to formulate such exceptions properly?

    oh i mean i too do like and support the advice to just not use the laptop for it

    i just feel like that ~ anything made with company equipment belongs to the company ~ is not the law in denmark or in (some parts) eu, and multiple people made it sound like it is, so i just kind of wanted to know if they actually know this certainly (and your comment was most upvoted)🤷‍♂️

      I get that. As another example, here where I live they made non compete contracts illegal, but I still sign one every time I start a new company. I assume they aren’t enforceable at all, but knowing lawyers they will argue some other loophole at me. For me it’s just not worth the risk of possibly needing to pay for lawyers
