I'm simply trying to avoid having rules I view as too strict (if

From the contributor side, it can be very, very, hard and can
potentially take a long time. The bigger the company, the harder it
can be.
Many may not pursue a contribution at all it if they thought one would
be required.
We shouldn't make contributions harder unless it's very necessary.

That's way too strict.

That's not cut and dried either - many companies assert IP rights to
creations made on employees own time, esp if they see it being
relevant to their business.
