Hi! gier! i m from Pakistan and here and in even our some neigbouring counteries like INDIA etc , the employer has the right over only those things that we write for them. but not for those whom we write for us , so even it is possible to do parrallel work for others. but as u suggested a letter from our contractor, i can provide but it ll certainly raise some eyebrowse here even though it is not going to help harmory me or my company:) as for as other restrcition are concern i am free from them as i have never feel concern what the Sun writes for us. so even though having more then onse src.zip (as due to several JDKs on my machine) , i never dig into their codes. so i request u either reiterate over ur statment about company statement and if u r still looking over it then i have to mess up with my PM.
