Maybe. I must first get permission from my employer since I'm a professional software engineer. :-\

So you did that at work?
Software_Samurai:
No, obviously not. However, since I write software for a living, my employer requires me to ask permission first.

How does your employer have the right to require permission for what you are doing in your spare time? I do write software for a living too, and my employer doesn't care if I write software in my free time -- given that I don't disclose any company / trade secrets. I also have no idea by what law it would be allowed for an employer to control your free time coding work. Heck, he could even be glad by me doing so, as doing so (naturally) improves my skills which is something he indirectly takes advantage of.
linuxstb:
I would imagine that this depends on what country you're in, what your employment contract says, and whether this was written in "free time" or not.
The GPL even includes a paragraph (search for Ty Coon) saying that "if necessary" you should get your employer/school to sign a copyright disclaimer before licensing code under the GPL.
