I suggest this: 1. try to figure out what really prevents you from assigning your copyright to FSF (unless your job contract says "everything you write in your free time belongs to us", I don't see a real problem here, but of course I don't have all the cards in hands to judge appropriately.) 2. try to convince your boss/company that it can be useful. 3. try to give advice on the list in a way that makes it easy for others to create a patch. But in your situation, submitting patches would just prevent us from getting your corrections into Emacs. Sorry for these bureaucratic contraints, and thanks for your understanding! -- Bastien
