The deal I got here was that work I do on my own time belongs to me. Further, any work that I do for the comapny that the company (or at least my boss) believes will benefit the company by being in the base FreeBSD gets put into FreeBSD (with the usual approvals, caveats, etc). There's lots of code that I work on that will never be in FreeBSD because the hardware for it is so specialized we have the only instances of it. So I understand IP issues with one's employer. Patches are generally small enough that many employers don't care to claim exclusive rights to them. Oh well, everybody's employer is different.
