Actually, I could probably copyright it, because my job description is Systems Manager. It doesn't say anything about software development. I just saw a need and went for it. I copyrighted the CyberWatch program that is sending out 11000 emails every day and I have done so with other apps while working as a consultant in the past. I will probably do so here too.

Since John works for someone, and he built this system while working for them - it sounds like a typical work-for-hire thing (although I may have that terminology wrong). But, in the end, he was paid to create the program - but, the people who paid him own the SW, and the copyrights and all of it. Honestly, like others have already said - its too bad he didn't own the rights - cause a system like this would kick butt all over the USA - and he could practically be Set For Life with something like this.
