Well I looked at it and it would seem I can not.
I am employed by someone, but they have nothing to do with me contributing
patches to things in my spare time, and I don't care to spend any time
trying to get my employer to sign anything saying they don't care about
my spare time either.
Some projects just like making it too hard to actually try and help out.
I consider my patches so far all trivial. I don't personally give a shit
about mono (I have no use for it), I just like a challange, so fixing a
few small bugs is fun. I also hate to see packages get dropped from
architectures in Debian.
So at this point it seems that if they won't accept trivial little
patches without a stupid agreement, then too bad. Not worth my effort.
I can submit stuff to the linux kernel without such stupidities.
If someone has a problem with that, they can look at my patches on this
mailing list, see what the problem and solution was, and then they can
go fix it again themselves in pretty much the same way. Not like I care
if I get credit or not for such trivial fixes.

It is certainly pretty good from the looks of it.
