With everything Github has done to lower the barrier to contributing to an open source project, it's a shame that the legal climate around software (especially in patent-related areas) makes such things necessary.

I can definitely imagine cases where the time and effort required to get company approval to sign such an agreement would outweigh the benefits of submitting a change upstream; I've been in such a position myself.
