Hello, the “IPR efforts” cause real work for hypothetical problems. In particular for problems, which have not existed so far and the real work is imposed to be done by those, who do not have the hypothetical problems.
By willingly submitting changes to open source software, the submitter acknowledges implicitly that the submitted changes will be distributed, as the rest of the remaing code and under the same conditions. Pretending for copyrights after the submission is ill-founded and abuse of “life simplicity”, by making life unnecessary complex to many people. The purpose of the copyright is to protect ... art. Lets say if one publishes art, nobody is allowed to copy on its own the art in such a way, that the initial publisher suffers (financial) damages. Forcing submitters to do more explicit work for legal reasons, is in the category “law runs/ends in itself” (law serves self-purpose; the purpose of law is to obey the law). A phenomenon that appears in more and more aspects of life.
