When I worked at Microsoft (disclaimer: I used to work at Microsoft) as long as you weren't breaking backward compatibility, it was medium-easy to find the PM of a project you wanted to tweak and volunteer some free evening and weekend time. Never saw a ton of people besides me do it, though, but maybe that's just because you had to keep it under wraps, politically, back then. > Oh, and reading and understanding licenses is HARD?!?!? The official word on that, IIRC, is DO NOT ATTEMPT TO READ OR UNDERSTAND LICENSES. Send them to LCA, and LCA tends to err on the side of caution.
