Also if you did this on company time you need to make sure they are OK with |
| 24 |
you open sourcing it as there is probably a clause in your employment papers |
| 25 |
someplace that makes anything you do on company time theirs. In which case |
| 26 |
open-sourcing it is liable to get you fired. At least thats the case where I |
| 27 |
work. |
