And I have a "suspicion" assigning full copyright to your partner, of the code you wrote, may have something to do with it.
My problem is with wishing I had more certainty and, yes, compensation, related to a possible sale of the company. The code is not of use to me outside of the company itself, and from a developer satisfaction point of view I've enjoyed crafting and developing it; it's something I'm proud of, but it doesn't mean I need or want to own it. I think developers need to be good at 'letting go' their children.

Thanks. All copyright is clearly assigned to my partner, it's written into our agreements. I don't have a problem with this at all.
Looks like you do have a problem given that you created this thread in the first place.
