For example, I used to work for a big corporation. When I was invited to become a committer at Apache Flex, I asked my manager for approval to work on Flex on my own time. He approved and that was it. They did not want me to go through any legal process nor did Apache Flex. We are being extra careful because we don't want to rush things now and get in trouble later. There are contributors from all over the world and each country has a different set of laws in this regard. We want you to understand these laws and make sure you, Apache Flex or the users of Apache Flex get into trouble later. As much as it is painful right now, it is worth doing the due diligence now instead of having to scramble to fix things later. Thanks for your patience while we go through this legal nonsense :-) Thanks, Om > > I liked what you said: > > > still want to sure, ask your company if > > they have any objections.
