Thank you. :-)

As a followup, not all patches need a license notice.  Insignificant
changes are not copyrightable, so the patches that simply change a few
symbols or inhibit the building of a utility in a package need no
license.

This is the opinion of the FSF, which I think is worth listening to,
since they have consulted lawyers.  You can refer to
<http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Legally-Significant>.

The safe thing is of course to say that all patches should carry a
license notice, so my original proposition still stands.
