   @fontana Most contributors to my projects are not contributing as part of their job.

     @fontana @bkuhn I've had people say things like, "Don't use my real name, my employer doesn't let me contribute to FLOSS."

     @evan, blech--`my employer apparently doesn't want to let me contribute to FLOSS' was a big part of the reason for my last job-change.

     More and more, I'm feeling like people whose employers don't want them #contributing to #FOSS should fine new employers—not just for the reasons that FOSS people usually site, but because those companies are basically doomed.

     I think that for technical people (who are usually the ones with IP agreeements) the market is good enough that they can ask for this.
