There was a case in the last year or so where someone released some GPL'ed code that they developed at home that had nothing to do with their day job and the employer sued the programmer. Presumably I read this in /. They employer was some big technical shop (like HP). I believe the company didn't find out about the code till after the programmer left the company, and the code was started about 10yrs earlier. So there are companies idiotic enough to sue, and it was costing the developer time and money to defend himself Joe -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
