Applied, thanks.

A "tiny change" is a change that modifies <= than 20 lines.

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!
