I'm not arguing against that. The level of originality needed to enjoy 
copyright protection is low.

I appreciate your debugging work. Nonetheless, I think most contributors of 
patches usually let their code be included under the pertinent project 
license, and are satisfied with an acknowledgement in the changelog, or, 
after accumulating a substantial amount of contributed work, in the regular 
AUTHORS file or similar. I would greatly appreciate it if you could do the 
same, because when code is submitted under different licenses it can, at 
least eventually, become rather messy to keep track of what parts of the 
package can be used under what license.
