Anything more substantial requires a copyright disclaimer or assignment (the latter is preferred, especially for larger changes). Both of these involved filling out a short form and filing it with the FSF. The process is straightforward -- contact us at emacs-devel@gnu.org to obtain the relevant forms. I've updated worg/org-contribute.org to reflect this. -- Bastien
