I do not agree with this.
You don't have to. You can do whatever you do with code you write you want. But Kevin Partner has that right as well. If he writes code for a contract, he has the right to state in that contract what the rights of the customer are. The customer on the other hand has the right to not hire Kevin Partner and hire someone else.
I think it's very important to defend such rights, even if authors do things we do not like (and even if it's the music industry trying to protect their rights). Because, IMO, that's necessary keep open source working. After all, if we oppose (or worse, break the license/contract) rights we don't like, we don't have a case if others violate the licenses/contracts we like.
I have no problem with views like the one Kevin Partner has. It just means it becomes less likely I would hire him.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
