You asked for opinions.  I gave my opinion.  I am one person, and
what I say has little or nothing to do with whether your code will
be committed.

However, realize that when you ask for a review of a patch, you
are going to get all softs of comments on the style, whitespace
changes, printfs, or copyright modifications (particularly if it's
not obvious whether the code is significant enough to constitute
a copyrightable derivative work.

The license issues are very serious to the community.  FreeBSD
could not, in good conscience, rip off your code without giving you
the credit you asked for in your patch.

I think that the community would be willing to take responsibility
for any bugs that it was willing to commit to the source tree.
