Perl Folks,
> I got into a conversation about contributing to Perl modules.
Before you contribute something to CPAN, please ensure that "YOU" own the
copyright. Most employers actually own the copyright on "anything" you write
based on the documentation that you signed when you were hired. Hey you wanted
the job. right? My company's agreement is that anything that I write on my
time on my own computer is my copyright, otherwise it's theirs.
Drag out those intellectual property agreements!
For you Federal Employees post away. Anything you Feds write on your time is
yours. Anything you "work" on during your "core" hours is typically public
domain (FOUO and classified are exceptions). So, it's best to upload a stub to
CPAN at night under your copyright then down load that stub and add public
domain content to it during the public dollar time.
Thanks,
Mike
