that seems like a rather unreasonable restriction, unless you
explicitly signed such an agreement when you were hired. that sounds
like the kind of thing that companies *like* to say even when it's
unenforceable.
in any case, if your company has no objections to you GPLing some
off-hours work you've done, then read:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html
toward the bottom, where it states:

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program,
if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James
Hacker.

Thanks for the reply. I will read that and pass it on to my manager. My
agreement says 'All my work during my tenure is owned by my company',
but the thing I am talking about is NO work!!! It is hobby :)
