Has that ever happened?
I'd be surprised if there was any actual burden on the upstream maintainer to care whether I was on my lunch break or whether I was on the clock when I made the fix.
- kcexn 5mo agoThe highest profile recent case that I can find is Rambler vs Igor Sysoev on the development of Nginx. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21771144 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21771144 Although in this particular case, I tend to agree with Igor as he was employed as a system administrator not a software developer so it's unlikely that there were any real contractual constraints imposed on him in relation to copyright or invention transfer.
