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.
We'll have a new version of this out here on the list soon that
addresses this. I think that you won't have to go hassle your
manager or employer if there is clearly no right over the work you
would be doing for Harmony.

8) Employment Limitations
Are you employed as a programmer, systems analyst, or other
IT professional? If so, you may be an commiter
only if your employer either:
a) signs a Corporate Contribution License Agreement with Apache
and lists you as a designated employee or
b) submits a written authorization for your participation in this
project and disclaims any copyright or confidentiality interest
in your current or future contributions to this project.
To me, this is _way_ too restructive.
It is very restrictive, and is a starting point for the discussion.
This is a real problem, I think. I believe that people don't
understand the restrictions they are working under, and the
ramifications of what can happen.
While this kind of statement
wouldn't be a problem for me currently, from time to time I've been
employeed by either a large company or the Australian Government,
neither
of which have any legal rights to anything I do out of hours,
but who
would have conniptions if asked to sign an agreement like this.
Simply
because the pointy haired bosses wouldn't understand what it was
about,
and would go into knee-jerk abnegation-of-responsibility mode.
LOL. "KJAORM"
Well, what do we do? I'm not sure we can punt here, but clearly we
want to make it so the broadest community can participate.
Clearly your requirements only apply if the contributor's employer
has
rights to their contribution. If the employer has no rights, then all
the contributor need do is to state that.
Cheers,
Ben.
