A lot of the current *port* patches are under different licenses (such 
as the GPL license), so that would not be really doable without first 
checking all the patchfiles and ports.

Requesting that patches to *base* is under the same BSD license as the 
MP code is perfectly good and normal, though. Patches to ports are 
assumed to be under some Unknown license:
