Don't know if you've looked at the form but the issue usually isn't if you
care. It's if your employer is ok with your assigning code to another
commercial entity. Your wishes only really enter into it insofar as if
you wish to donate code at all. After that, it's up to your employer
to release the code to Red Hat.
