If you are doing this work for your company, and on company time then the work
belongs to your company and you can't give it away.  However if you are
doing the work on your own time on your own equipment then you can do
anything you want with it.

When I submitted TACK to FSF they required me to get written statements
from all my employers and all contributors stating that they (the employers)
have no claim on the code.

The correct answer is to talk to your employer and find out what their
policy is concerning free software and if they would mind if you made
your changes available to the public.
