Dear All, there are quite many packages that require significant patches. Is there a clear policy whether these patches are pushed upstream? I was hoping that most patches would be pushed upstream and eventually your great work would be incorporated into the upstream source.
I can put some effort into this. But only if there is consent that patches may be passed on upstream. What is the copyright status of the patches and sources in MINGW-packages now?
