> neither I nor the law says core business

That’s just factually false. You specifically wrote:

> Even in California the "I wrote it on my own time" doesn't apply to software that relates to an employer's ***core*** business.

You can’t complain about people being “wishful” or in “denial” when they are quoting you.

Maybe California law is silent in the topic, but Aeolus wasn’t the person who introduced that specific phrase.



Oh that’s embarrassing. I did. Apologies. I was wrong to write “core” and wrong to complain when you did it.


Eh, it happens. No worries
