It's not relevant. The employees are free to 'use the code' in their individual capacities, but the company cannot. For example the company cannot 'use the code' on its internal computer systems, which are owned by the company and not the employees. Also the company cannot 'use the code' in its products, which are products of the company and not its employees. Those employees, when acting on behalf of the company (doing their jobs) are agents of the company, not individuals, and the license terms apply to the company. _______________________________________________ The opinions expressed in this email are those of the sender and not necessarily those of the Open Source Initiative.
