Thus the new policy would require anyone submitting
code to use to
declare who they work for. Personally this seems both unnecessary to
me, as well as unlikely to be followed. For example, I see no reason
why some person who uses our software should have to declare who they
work for when they upstream a bug fix, etc.
Hello,
If you write the code as an employee of a company during your company
work hours, the code legally belong to the company you are working for
not to you as an individual. Unless specially stated in your work contract.
So in this case, it would make sense to set the proper copyright (your
company) or at least have a legal document stating the company grant you
a license to do what you want with the code (ie assign the copyright to
you as an individual).
My personal situation:
I, as an individual, generate code that has my copyright though it is
done under my own company. I have a legal document with my own company
that has all the code belong to me as an individual.
I then have a copyright agreement with Wikimedia which establish a joint
copyright between the foundation and me. That basically says that the
code belong to both of us and is initially published under a free
license (ex: GPLv2 / CC-BY-SA).
