I'm not following the US copyright law here, but Emacs contribution
policies:

,----[ etc/CONTRIBUTE ]
| * Copyright Assignment

| We can accept small changes (roughly, fewer than 15 lines) without

| disclaimer or assignment (the latter is preferred, especially for

It's not a matter of the change being trivial or not -- but of course,
it's even more frustrating not being able to apply your patch if it's
trivial :)
