Unfortunately, yes. I can't explain that really good. It's one of
the weirdnesses of the US copyright law. Even if it's not applicable
to the situation of us non-US folks, Red Hat as a US company has to
care for that to have no trouble. If your patch would just change two
or three lines of the code, it wouldn't be needed but your patch has
a not negligible size.

You can send the patch but we have to wait until your copyright
assignment arrives.
