No single haiku will ever have a change to be protected by that famous
US-copyright law.
I'm against spreading stupidity over the world and see with sorrow
people abiding to it.
I'm not following the US copyright law here, but Emacs contribution
policies:

| 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

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 :)
