Hi, The main thing to do is to establish IP ownership of the code to be donated (in this case, the modifications to the original). If all significant contributors sign an ICLA, and they retain ownership of the code, then that should do it.
If some external entity owns the IP to the code, then a software grant (SGA) would be appropriate, signed by the representative of the IP owner. The grant would be filed as part of the process.
