One argument for you could be that if there is no problem, why aren't they using MIT instead that works the way they want it? No need to use the wrong license if they mean something else.

It always comes down to “of course a corporate dev would suggest that so you can steal our work ”

We (corporate contributors) are simultaneously big contributors to OSS and seen as an enemy.

I can’t blame them, especially with cases like this French one. But it does mire a lot of discussion.
