We should ask the contributor because some German companies do not allow you to work in OSS unless you have got an internal confirmation from commercial management. My last company had this rule; does not matter if the prodution area is the same with OSS or not. In my case we were in totally different production field than Maven. It is important for the user in this case much more.
