I think jobs in IT are tricky. I doubt anybody likes giving up their IP to others for cash, but you gotta eat. I find it funny companies want entrepreneurial types that are creative, self-motivated, fast learners, with expert level understanding of latest technology, but are completely ignorant too how much value they give away everyday they code for someone else. You really want to attract talent, pay them a fair wage, let them work on a side projects 20% of the time until they find something that pays for itself and then split the IP with them 50/50.

sort of like a job/incubator hybrid.

(wish I could patent ideas)
