Not in my experience. I've never been denied an open-source participation request.
> You also can't have personal projects if you ever plan to share them.
Also not my experience. I have plenty of side projects and every one of them has been approved.
P.S. Thanks for RediFork!
- mabbo 10y agoI guess our experiences were different. I definitely applied, and was definitely shot down. Guess it depends on what you want to do? Or maybe they loosened up over time. When they stopped saying 'no' and just saying 'here's the non-compete doc, you figure out if it's allowed or not', I just stopped trying. On the bright side- hey look, you're a person who actually got permission! I can no longer say I've never met someone given permission.
