Russian search engine Rambler.ru claims full ownership of NGINX code.

Russian police have raided today the Moscow offices of NGINX, Inc., a subsidiary of F5 Networks and the company behind the internet's most popular web server technology.

Equipment was seized and employees were detained for questioning.

Moscow police executed the raid after last week the Rambler Group filed a copyright violation against NGINX Inc., claiming full ownership of the NGINX web server code. The Rambler Group is the parent company of rambler.ru, one of Russia's biggest search engines and internet portals.

I wonder what will happen now.

Millions of servers switching to lighttpd after nginx becomes a trade secret?

Looks like Rambler got hell of a domestic backslash and dropped it's criminal charges. But may still pursue the matter in civil court.

What's interesting for me: If I developed something during my free time, while being employed by a company that later would start using that code - can that company really claim ownership after-the-fact..
Because that's, what's it's boiling down to.
