To be clear, in France, when you are an employee, most of the time you *have* to ask an explicit persmission from your employer to work on some other project, even out of your working hours (for the simple reason that if you work out of hours, then you might be totally worn out during your day job, which would be detrimental to the employer). That may have some legal implications : typically, the copyright might be claimed by the employer, as if the code was written during day job, which then may be a legal problem for The ASF and the users... I'm not sure that is a problem for other countries (and FTR, my question was bnot about french employees or a french company) thougts ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
