Does it matter who said that? I don't think so. You seem scandalized by the idea that an employer might force employees to work on standards (or anything else per typical work-for-hire contracts).

Three people at least. This casts a different light on the Dash memo's serve-two-masters glibness, and on Alex Russell's recent blog post.
