Further updates, I've been in a run-around with the U's Copyright and
Patent offices. Both have shuffled me off in reference to the other and
to the Legal Counsul's office. However, the basic message I've
interpreted is "we don't care." I haven't talked to Legal yet, but my
supervisor and I are under the impression that if I work in the capacity
of a maintainer, folding in patches and making minor contributions (bug
fixes, etc.), that we shouldn't draw the gaze of the legal eye of the U.
IOW, there is very little interest in code that is not financially
exploitable by the U, so if I don't make major contributions during my
time at work, there will be no conflict of interest.
I need one more OK before I can commit my work time. I'm still working
on the Debian packages at home to bring them up to date.
