Hi Alex, My contract is a simple general contract (like any other employee here being a developer or not). This is not a "software" company, and all developments made are for own company use / company customers use. So no legal problems here. And also there is no problem for the company to sign the ccla, my question is: If the company signs the agreement saying that "authorize" me to donate, makes them the "owner" of the code? this is really messy! :\ but if it's required I'll ask to sign.
Already have the icla ready to send.
