I think you are confusing the contents of the software you > might develop for commercial use, which is most often confidential > within the company you work for, and your career information, which is > often public if you are employed in a public institution, like a > university. People working at public institutions such as universities also often do work for commercial companies. Some aspects of that are often made public, such as which companies and universities are working together, while many details are generally kept private. So you would expect to see information that Google has been working with Monster University on harnessing the power of laughter. You would /not/ expect to see that Professor Plum wrote the pun generator library for the joke engine. And if neither contributing organisation is a public entity, you would not expect to see any information at all about collaborating companies, much less the contributions of individuals, unless both companies felt there was significant marketing or publicity gains to be had, and both companies agreed on it - then you'd see the information in press releases, not developers biographies. There are exceptions, of course, but that is common practice. The whole point is that the fact that Malcolm failed to find information about commercial software written by Jens Gustedt tells us absolutely /nothing/ about how much commercial software he has worked on.
