In that case, everyone would agree that the work was done in their capacity as an employee. The employee isn't going to dispute that, or they'd essentially be admitting to unauthorized use of IBM systems.

- MaxBarraclough 6y agoPerhaps I misinterpreted in the IBM kernel driver directory. I'm imagining a developer remotely accessing their IBM workstation. The developer could contribute to a Free and Open Source IBM driver on their own time, and reasonably insist that IBM do not get to claim ownership, the same way anyone else can. Whether that's a sensible choice of personal programming project, is another matter. It's unhelpful to muddy the waters.
