This is because RMS says so. The FSF GPL page says this for code contributions, and there is a similar requirement for documentation. I am not doing this for my employer. In fact, since I brought this up, my boss read me the riot act about doing non-work things during work hours. I suspect that writing this email is grounds for immediate termination, but I will chance it. They do have an odious employment contract, as well as a separate agreement which we needed to sign stating that their source code is more important to them than God's holy writ, and that we should treat it more carefully. I suppose I could release it provisionally, on the condition that it not get into the CVS archive, but that seems like a sure path to lawsuits for someone, probably including myself. I think it's better for all concerned if I just wait to get the release documentation.
