Is there any way to contribute to open source projects during work hours if they aren't secret sauce?
There's a generic tool I'm working on that would really benefit a lot of people if it was open sourced so I'd love to maybe open source what I have or perhaps rewrite it under my personal account during non work hours. Is this permissible? In the second scenario - would it be legal/ethical to make pull requests from my work account to keep contributing?
My boss would be happy about it but idk about the powers that be throughout Msft. Curious to hear about other companies too.
Want to see the real deal?

Really wondering why this isn’t common sense and you had to ask in Blind!
Especially for tools for Windows and dotnet, etc.
