Same here; all my work is property of the company I work for. But it is possible for me to donate my bugfixes/enhangements back to the community under strict guidelines. So, on to of that there is this agreement.
Nonetheless I think it would be far more easier for a lot of people if they got a place to which they can send there code to. At this place the code should be reviewed and a decision should be made wheter or not the code can/will be used in WiX. At this point the ownership of the code (main course for the agreement, as far as i can tell from the agreement) is handed to the community and nobody should be able to claim it as his/hers. I know this is something large companies like Microsoft needs to close-down legaly, so maybe the ownership of WiX should not lay in the hands of Microsoft? Anyway, maybe there should be some shortcut to send in code without the hassle of an agreement? (If I write a poem on a public wall without my name, is it stil my legal ownership?) <wink /> Albert -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Shmarya Rubenstein Verzonden: zaterdag 8 juli 2006 22:32 Aan: "DEÁK JAHN, Gábor" CC: WiX-users Onderwerp: Re: [WiX-users] Assignment agreement and updates and/or enhancements 1. Some of the fixes are developed during work-hours as they are needed by work-related projects. 2. I have a fairly strict restriction of trade/intellectual property, so it's not that simple. I could always sign the agreement as a private person, but if it where ever challenged, I might get into trouble...
