> I really don't get why developers sometimes go out of their way to help their employer keep their code proprietary

I think it’s more that we hate dealing with any kind of bureaucracy?



Fair point. I just feel like it doesn't cost much to learn about open source licenses, and developers would benefit from it.

I managed to open source a lot of code just by convincing managers (sometimes in a manipulative way, but that's the game: they do that, too). It did not imply any bureaucracy.
