I have some patches saved up coming your way once I leave my current employer, who doesn't allow external open source contributions. Though that is not for a few years probably.

Love the libraries BTW. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Why not publish it anonymously?

If there's actual employer IP in there then just leaving said employer wouldn't magically clear it.

If there isn't and you're just trying to avoid red tape, then publishing it anonymously would work around the issue.

I feel like it'd be kinda a jerk move to contribute anonymously when you know that might create an IP issue for an open source project. Even if the code truly has no IP issue, legal attention from an litigious company would likely be devastating to even a well resourced project.
