Copyrighting simple JavaScript code

Googling around I found a particular page:

I have a previous invention (software / framework) that I plan to use on my new job. What happens to my copyright if I improve it during the job?

I have filled that standard form where you list your previous inventions before starting your new job so the employer is legally aware you have the copyright over them. But if I want to use this invention (software code / framework) in my new job, would they have any copyright claims on it if for example I change / improve something on my code while working for them?

Is there a license for selling a software with the sources so buyer can make modifications without claiming ownership of the code or distributing it?

I would like to sell a software that has some open source competitors. Therefore I would like to include the source code with the binaries so that the company buying it can modify it as it wishes. The only catch is that the source code will NOT belong to the company, in other words, I would like to maintain the copyright and ownership over the code so I can sell to other companies, etc.

Would it be possible to publish my code on an official site with a third-party library?

I’m building a rather large and extensive wrapper in Delphi for an email system called Mandrill. There are wrappers for this API in many other languages, but not for Delphi. So, I’m hoping to produce the first full wrapper. The problem is, I’m utilizing a third-party JSON parser called superobject. I’m afraid that if I complete this wrapper, I won’t be able to provide my code for Mandrill to share, because of this third-party library.

Copyright/General Law for Publishing Online Software

I’m planning on releasing a program I made, but I’m not sure exactly how to ensure people don’t just steal it. The price point is $1, but I’m not selling it through an “app store” or anything so I have to handle the legal stuff myself as well as building a website. How do I make it illegal (is it by default?) for people to resell copies of it. What about adding Copyrights to the code itself? Often, when I’m buying software, or even when it’s free, I have to accept terms and conditions (which I obviously read sarcasm). Do I need something like that?

Does any well-known license require to make modifications available when only derived *output* is published?

Is there a way to make sure that modifications to free software are released even when no binaries of modified code are conveyed? Though it may sound odd and from what I understand, e.g., GPL requires to distribute source only if binary is conveyed to other parties thus making it possible for unlimited private use as it does not fall into propagation.
