This is what we ask for before accepting code into the code-base, that the
copyright be transfered to Derek and myself (in writing). We do this so that
we can have control over the distribution of the code in the future. We'd
need this agreement from you, but I doubt it will be an inhibiting issue.

I'm glad to see your interest in our project :-) We will definitely be as
helpful as we can for you.

Cheers,
Ben
