I'v changed the subject, cross-posted to misc.jobs.misc, and directed folow-ups there as it seems like a more likely forum for this (I do read that group and am interested in this discusion if it takes off).

If someone is poking around in code relating to a project other than their own, some interest in there and may as well be taken advantage of. Besides, if you have come up with a solution why have someone else go through the process of re-inventing it? Implementation is NEVER a large part of a well thought out peice of code. I don't know about AMD, but where I work we are all interested in promoting the company's best interest, this may have something to do with the fact that we all get healthy profit shares when things go well, perhaps it is just the unity one feels when working for a SMALL (~ 40 employes) company. -michael -- If my employer knew my opinions he would probably look for another engineer.
