How long was the term of the non-compete clause? An indefinite term is widely held to be illegal in the USA. The reasonableness test generally limits the term to between 6 months to 2 years. Some states outright ban non-competes.
Give that contract another look, especially if it's been 2+ years. Look up your State's laws and rules on non-compete clauses. That clause might never have been valid.

In a day I had a GUI and basic 3D parallel machining with roughing and finish strategies. All vibe coded with probably 3-4 hours of my time actually spent working on it. The rest was doing other stuff while the AI did it's thing. I haven't even looked at the code let alone written any. The next day I put in another couple of hours and had much improved parallel machining and waterline. The g-code files are pretty huge ATM because it's all short line segments but it won't take much to add arc matching for G02/G03. That should massively reduce the line count. Unfortunately I can't release any of the code. When I sold SheetCam the contract included a non-compete clause. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
