Ok, why not. Anyone know what that could entail? Linux is licensed
only under 2.0. But honestly, I don't care, as long as the GPL
retains it viral qualities and it and the LGPL retain the requirement
to publish changes.
I made the change.

In the first case, it has a specific referent (this thing here). In
the second case, it's merely a general noun (a work is a kind of
thing). At least, that's my feeble reasoning. :)

Yes. Should I change it to "your right" instead of "the right"?

I was trying to collect patches, modifications, extensions, changes,
and anything else together and give them all one name by which they
are referred to later. Should I perhaps refer to them all as
"changes"?

Yeah, because "patches" was supposed to refer to them implicitly.
Ok, below is my attempt to clarify.

DUAL LICENSING
(1) This Work is licensed under LGPL 2.0 or newer. You have the right to
use and modify this Work, as long as you publish your changes to the Work.
(2) This Work is also licensed as a proprietary work, all rights
belonging to Traversal Technology. Traversal Technology may use this
Work under those terms and has the right to publish, license, and sell
this Work and derivative works as they see fit. To remove these rights,
you must remove this clause.
(3) Use of this Work without clause (2) forfeits the right to use any
trademarks owned by Traversal Technology, the Open Graphics Project, or
related organizations.
(4) Patches, modifications, and extensions (collectively, "Changes")
to this Work that are submitted to the Open Graphics Project, the Open
Graphics Mailing List, directly to Traversal Technology, or to an agent
thereof must be SIGNED by the author of said Change, granting
Traversal Technology "rights to use" under clause (2), as well as
clause (1).
Unsigned Changes will be ignored.
(5) Changes committed directly to an officially recognized source code
repository are signed implicitly. Those who have write access to such
a repository and who commit Changes to that repository grant rights to
Traversal Technology under clause (2), as well as clause (1), by virtue
of having write access and choosing to submit Changes.
(6) It is the responsibility of the submitter of a Change to ensure that
they have the right to do so and that they have necessary permissions
from any other contributors or third parties.
(7) Traversal Technology does not require an exclusive license to your
work. You retain the right to use the contents of your Changes, and you
may retain copyright to your Changes. Clauses (1) through (6) still
apply. For special situations, you are encouraged to add comments to the
"contributions" section of this Work, indicating the nature of your
Change.
