This is something I’ve gone back & forth over as I’ve contributed to some projects online but have been hesitant to mention it when applying for jobs. Typical reasons such as wanting to keep work/personal life separate.

    I wouldn’t call it a double standard:

    Work done at other companies is usually property of those companies. If the applicant tells me they’ve done work in the public domain, I’d like to see it, unless there’s a reason they can’t (mostly licensing, or if it’s for a project my company may not want to be associated with).
