How to protect your program, legally?

Question

1C

Hello everyone, I worked in the office for 5 years, I worked regularly (salesman), since there was no automation, I decided to learn 1c programming, I wrote a configuration for a department, another department, another department, and so on. now about 15 people work in it every day, I was about to leave, move on, openly declared I’m leaving as a person, I leave everything, etc., they asked me to show the code to a person who doesn’t understand anything at all in programming, I refused, citing the fact that this is my intellectual property, threats began, undercover games how to be? the configuration is foolproof, all code has been obfuscated, the module is password protected, there is no access to the configurator, but I'm still worried if it can be hacked for that matter? if with me as with a dog? and in general should I show anything to explain if I didn’t receive a penny for it and everything was on a voluntary basis?

Answer 1

If everything was done with the knowledge of the management, the code was written at home during non-working hours, then my IMHO:
1. Leave everything as it is and leave.
2. If the company needs source codes (it will be needed later) - name the price of the issue, and transfer it after payment.
All the same, it will be cheaper for the company than rewriting or hacking the configuration.
If the hassle with the dismissal has gone, it would be nice to make a bookmark. Normally calculated - removed the bookmark. They threw it in the calculation - the program fell in a month. Yes, and #$% with her.

Answer 2

You spent working time on your development -> this development should belong to your employer.
Your work / time was paid by the employer.

Answer 3

Developed exclusively at home

Answer 4

The company has every right to crawl into your code and study it for various "bookmarks"

does anyone have the right to dig into the windows code?
