[Geotools-devel] IP check question

[Ian Turton]

I have a question about the contributor agreement. I used to work for the University of Leeds writing opensource code (mostly GeoTools) but I now work for the Pennsyvannia State University. In both cases the university claims IP in everything I produce in thier time (and possibly the rest of the time too). I both cases my direct boss knows/knew and approves of the code I develop in GeoTools being LGPL.

So the question is where do I stand in getting licences signed - me, my current employer, my old employer?
