Yes I was, but this was for my independent contracting company (that
has been dissolved, and the email clearly won't work anymore)
for a presentation on iio.

Pretty sure Konsulko doesn't have any issue with copyright assignment

Also retroactive assignments are quite legal (under US law at least,
also IANAL) as long you of course own the copyright.

Good questions though!
