Right, modifying-patches.rst does not apply to corpo patches.

Maybe the analogy from US law would be helpful to show how I think

is one "legal person", Philipp and Lukas are separate "human persons".

IOW patch circulation and attribution within a corporation is naturally
different than between community members.
