Hmm, why using your corporate email address then? This suggests a
different copyright situation.

Funnily, I just received this question internally: How can you tell
apart if someone sends a personal contribution via his/her employer
account from someone contributing on behalf of a company, thus with that
company holding the rights? I argued that no one would do the former to
prevent wrong accounting, but you just proved a counterexample. :)
