Right, but you can still address this when you're negotiating the terms of your employment.

agreed, but many companies will be ok with open sourcing individual components, especially if it's done so under their name.
My point is this is another tool for you to use at negotiation time when they've reached a limit on price / other benefits.
- nevinera 14y agoI agree that it's worth bringing up, though investigating yourself is likely more accurate (if they haven't released any open projects previously, I'd be hesitant to believe their newfound commitment to the cause). But it's not really something they can honestly negotiate with - they can't commit to releasing anything until they can see what it is, and how likely it is to help their competitors.
