Ask HN: Intellectual property rights if I open source a code tool?
I created a code tool that I can use through a VS Code extension to speed up how I work as a programmer. I have it in a private GitHub repo with an MIT license that I pushed up while I wasn't employed.
I'd like to use it at work, but I want to be able to take it with me no matter what job I'm at.
Would my current company have an IP claim on my project if I use it at work? It's weird because my code wouldn't make it into their codebase, it'd just be used while I code in their codebase
