This sounds like a great way for students to do some real work. Are there any legal issues to this? Are students allowed to work on Mozilla projects while at school when they are not paid (not an internship)? Or is it alright since the whole thing is open source? The question becomes more relevant because a good percentage of the students (especially masters students) are on student visas and are not allowed to work outside the campus. Am I over thinking this?
- Morgawr 12y agoNot sure how it works in the US, especially because every country has its own rules, but I don't think there will be any problem. There seems to be no mention of any pay so it can be treated as any other University project (I guess). In my Master's programme (Studying in Amsterdam, so not an american) we can choose to work on University-approved projects(it's up to the professor) and can receive credits for them. A few friends of mine have worked at GSoC projects and got credits from those, I'm currently doing some independent research with a mentor/tutor and will get credits once I finish (and hopefully publish). This doesn't sound any different.
