It depends where the patch came from. If they are backports from the
upstream[1] then its the upstream license. If its added by one of our
contributors it defaults to our usual license (which the contributor
has stated is the case for their contributions at some point in the
past), but any sensible person will want to allow those patches to be
merged upstream if such a merge makes sense so feel free to clarify
that if necessary.
