I don't understand this, sorry. If the employer retains copyright, then isn't it the case that, in most situations, the applicant cannot legally license their work under an open-source license? (Because the employer owns the copyright, and may not agree to the licensing.) I don't see how the fact that it's open source makes any difference.
