		What does that rejection look like? Do they refuse to merge the PR until you send them a document or something? As far as I'm aware these legal dark corners are uninhabited. If you say: `> I was blocked, so I fixed a bug, and rather than wasting time maintaining an internal fork in violation of the OSS project's license, I complied with that license by contributing my fix upstream.` I've never met a manager or a maintainer who would suggest that you open the can of worms by contacting a lawyer about it. We all know that intellectual property is a bit of a farce, especially as applied to software that was written jointly by an employee and model that was likely trained on the OSS project in the first place. But it's not a problem unless it's a Problem, so as long as no party is injured, why make it one?
