Hi Bernard,
I remember reading an answer to this question, but I couldn't find
it in a quick search, and it's not in the CLA FAQ
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/clafaq.php.
The answer I remember is that yes, you need to mention your
employer. Some employment contracts will at least attempt to take
ownership of work done in the employee's own time, if the employer
is in the same business. If the employer's business is totally
unrelated to software development then this might seem like
overkill.
The reason that the Eclipse Foundation goes this far is to make sure
that all code released is squeaky clean, license wise. This means
that any person or organization can confidently use Eclipse software
without fear of legal repercussions.

Hello everyboy,
I'm wondering if I need to mention my employer in the CLA as I
plan to contribute only my freetime.
Someone has the answer?
Thanks in advance,
