Legal-wise, is it possible with our license to extract code written by someone else from a PR and use it? IANAL, so I can't really say. And how about people-wise? I personally wouldn't mind at all if my code was used in such a way, but I know there are people who might.

I don't know.
I think it would be ridiculous if there were either legal or personal issues for trivial changes. Consider someone who fixes a cactus issue with a simple single line, and his PR is refused due to inactivity and some styling error. Extraction makes sense. But then again, IANAL.
