If they submit projects they did not contribute to then that is an issue. Your other points however, I disagree with. - all code I write commercially will have dozens of contributors. It's a team sport and you need to be able to play w

There are some companies that take this approach, though I am not sure if it is intentional. Goldman Sachs being one of the most famous examples who use lots of proprietary in-house technology, which can make it difficult for leavers to get
