The difference here, I think, is a matter of degree. A perfectly normal trait can be a pathology when taken to an extreme. Consider the difference between feeling sad sometimes and suffering severe depression.
I spent almost 2 years writing a book for O'Reilly. I get a percentage of book sales, and royalties on views in the Learning platform. This project is, very literally, stealing from me.
Please, just buy the book. I -- and many other authors -- worked very hard on them.
Author here. A pleasure to meet you. I'm a big fan of Hashicorp.
Truth be told, when I started this project I wasn't aware of memberlist, though I was by the time I finished. I was building something beautiful and I didn't want to put it down.
I think you may be misreading the section regarding projects that you develop on your own time with your own equipment (unless I'm misreading it, which is also very possible):
> "Any provision in this Agreement requiring Employee to assign rights in Inventions does not and will not apply to any Invention for which no equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information of Employer was used and that was developed entirely on Employee’s own time, unless (a) the Invention relates (i) directly to the business of Employer, or (ii) to Employer’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development"
Note the operative phrase: _does not and will not apply to any Invention..._
Note that this is my first real project in Go, and that this will essentially be the first time that it's been looked at by eyes besides mine. It may have holes; possibly glaring ones. Please be gentle. :)
