Oh I am with icefox. Proof: when asking for code submitted from people without public open source credentials, people will actually send in uncommented code!! I mean there are two issues here - knowing the right thing to do and being too sloppy to do it, and not even realising what the right thing to do is. shake head

As to the OP - if a company doesn't value your O/S contributions, and if those contributions are indeed valuable according to your O/S peers, just don't work for that company. Do you want to have a career with people who can't reliably judge good code?
