It is my understanding that via the Berne convention on
copyrights that the author always owns the copyright, unless
he gives it away, so the employer you mention should rightfully
be conserned with using copyrighted material, even if it is
a vanishingly small probability that anything bad would happen.
Anyway, it wouldn't hurt to put a copyright statement on the site, but
it would have to be crafted so that individual monks could
opt out, presumably with their own statement. I guess it's
time to call the lawyers :-/

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
