One potential problem is that in somme countries, for sure France, it is
not possible for an author to entirely disclaim copyright moral rights,
so putting something in the public dommain can be a legally dubious notion. And how do we know the patch is in the public domain even in
the US without a signed document. A notice on a file means nothing
