I am not sure that every patches I have done are compliant with upstream
LICENSE... However, I think that "few lines" patches are mostly
irrelevent WRT license in general -- i.e. it is ok to provide a few line
patches without copyright/license.
The only thing is that it is a good practice to say where your patch
comes from, if you decide to copy them elsewhere....
