When you write code for a company it becomes their property, and they can make a claim for it. In this case, it seems that he did not end up writing any code for this company, but the employment/contractor contract he signed likely contained a "work in progress" clause, which makes all his work also the property of the company. |

exactly, when he's hired to do something all the code becomes the property of the company because he got paid for it.
Also how in the hell can you protect the code? if i take a chunk of the code how are you gonna prove that i didn't write it myself, load of bs. |

the clause is possible
my only concern is - Facebook is around for what, 2 years now? and they are suddenly suing now? greedy bastards |

Totally agreed, but look what happened to RIM. They got sued by a patent holder that never even tried to bring a product to market. |
