My reason for wanting to keep copyright is that I want to be allowed to work on my code under the same name after I leave the company. I'd happily trade away that option if I were being paid to work on it, but if it's my hobby, and if (in my view, if not IARC's) it isn't related to my work or Google's business, I won't.
- martius 7y agoI agree, but I think it's (mostly) not an issue. IIRC we're asked to use our corp email for contributions, unless we already have contributions under your own name/email address on the project. I read this as: * if you interacted with people on mailing list with your personal email address, it's OK to use your personal email address in the patches. * if you are the maintainer of a project, use your own address (unless this is a google project, of course). edit: don't get me wrong though, I don't like this clause, I just think it only matters in rare cases.
