Good answers so far -- I just want to also remind you that as a contract 
employee your old company is not paying Unemployment Tax, Worker's Comp 
Tax, Social Security Tax, Vacation Time, Sick Time, etc, etc... 
actually, let me re-phrase -- they should be paying those costs in your 
rate, as it is a part of doing business.

I am not a lawyer, but I don't think you'll have problems in this 
instance with copyright, etc, since it's the same company and they want 
to buy your time and expertise to work on their software.
