That's OK, but in that case I think (and this is just IMHO) it's better if you
don't post a series of patches.

Ideally we'd like you to sign a copyright assignment and contribute, but if you
won't or can't contribute your code then IMHO you shouldn't offer it in the
form of patches, because if we can't accept it then even reviewing your patch
might make it tricky for us to implement the suggestion in a similar way (did
we use your code? copy your idea? do we need to get a lawyer to decide if a
change we make is based on your non-assigned work? ... I don't want to have to
even ask those questions, let alone answer them!)
