RE: [MLUG] SecureFTP, University & Open Source stuff

["McNutt, Justin M." <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

That's a good question.  The way University policy works, you can do just
about anything - ex.: we're non-commercial but we have a bookstore and the
Spectrum - but it often takes a lot of work.

My read on it, though, is that no, there is *currently* no way to legally
write open source software while employed here.  There may be some loophole
w.r.t. *when* and *where* you write it (e.g. at home), but I doubt it.

The actual issue, is can software developed while working for the
University be open sourced in any way shape or form?  Under the GPL - so
it's not like ProCom where you could make money on it afterwards.
Is there some sort of process for this?  What?
Thanks,
Jason
