What do you mean giving back to the community? We already report a use case!!
FOSS user:
Wants to improve the software and sees easy fixes, but isn’t allowed to create a Merge Request because company policy disallows you from writing code for other projects on company time
Good luck with them holding that up in court. Just do it on your own hardware and you’re good to go
I don’t really code in my free time, every merge request for a FOSS project I wanted to do so far was for company projects where a feature was missing or buggy. My GitHub and Gitlab accounts are full of outdated forks we needed for a minor change in the FOSS project which I was not allowed to merge upstream
