Comment Liability Issues? (Score 1) 134

I'm not a legal eagle by any means but if someone out there has the knowledge or connections, can you shed some light on liability?
I mean, if it is that AT&T has deployed customer equipment with known exploits, I would think the user would be limited in their liability - or so it seems to a rational mind. Not only is this bad news for consumers as a whole but it is just as bad - if not worse - for businesses such as the small businesses that use these modems/routers.

Open Source Code In a Closed Source Company 286

An anonymous reader writes "I have code that I've written for my current company that I'd like to open-source. The only problem is that my company has the usual clause that says that anything I write belongs to them. Now that they've decided to abandon my code for another product that replaces its function, I'd like to continue working on my project as well as open it up to the world. The easy part is cleaning it up and posting it on SourceForge and Freshmeat. The hard part is making sure that I am free of any legal complications in the future. I've looked online to try to find a legal document I could present to my employer to get them to sign off on it, but I'm not having any luck. Has anyone else been in this boat or can refer me to some legal documentation that may help out?"
