It was some smaller company, one that I had never heard about until they picked up Gmane. The name is probably somewhere in the gmane mailing list archives (available via nntp) but if Lars doesn't want to name them, I think it would be

Not a lawyer but I work in Finland. This is not a "right" of employees but sets the limits for what kind of flex-time agreements can legally be entered into. In many white-collar jobs people don't really care about the legal
