Well, I don't know what their policies are now, but when I worked
for IBM about 4 years ago, their policies about home developed
software were basically the same as DEC's...nice to know that big
blue isn't the only paranoid company in the world! :-)
The reason they gave us was that although IBM had no interest in
microcomputer software (as I said, this has been a while ago!), still
your programs might reflect techniques learned while working for IBM.
Yeah, if what you're thinking is what I think you're thinking, that
was my opinion, too...*MOOO!*
Again, this was some time ago, so IBM's policies might have changed...
I know they were encouraging employees to write software for the PC
when it came out, but then, that is a tad different!
