There are some contracts that say "anything you do is ours". A reasonable contract, however, will say "everything you do using work equipment and on company time is ours". This may still be a problem if, for example, you code Wine on a company provided laptop. > When I finally come to submitting code, does wine need a copy of the > agreement, or do I just hold onto it incase of future cmplications? > (which is very unlikely as I see it) No. Ultimately, it's your responsibility to make sure that the code you submit to Wine under LGPL is yours to submit. As far as I understand, all that will be required of Wine in case of a violation is to remove the code. You, on the other hand, might find yourself on the wrong end of a copyright violation suite from your employer. Just get permission. Oral is ok if you can later prove that it happened (which is another way of saying "get it in writing"). Shachar
