General discussion / How supportive is your employer for FOSS contribution?
How supportive is your employer / employment-contract for contributing to Free and Open Source software in your spare time (from home), not related to the work you are performing. 

In one of the slahdot article (http://developers.slashdot.org/comments ... id=3197967) it was said that
there are two kinds of coders:
Quote
a) coders who care are in it for only the money, who switch off at 5.00pm sharp and spend their evenings playing on a PS2; or
b) coders who live and breathe code, who actively take part in open source development, learning new tricks and techniques in their own time and come to work with fresh ideas and more experience under their belt everyday.

Are you professionals allowed to contribute for FOSS or OHW projects?
