I didn't mean hacking OSS side projects for fun, on free time. Why everyone reads it like that?

I meant, using FLOSS libraries for the actual job, during normal work hours. Depends on the industry, of course, I guess.

The trouble is, many of the people who responded to you had a legitimate point. I've done embedded development with OS libraries that I've extended, but there was 0% chance of me opwm-sourcing any of that code. I didn't even ask. Not everyone works in a field that is conducive to OS models. Consider that there are people who work in the military space who read this site, and the thought of open-source would give their managers aneurysms.
