I'm not sure, but when there is no info in a patch, patches are GPL-ed
(http://cvs.pld-linux.org/SPECS/COPYING)
All files on CVS/SOURCES/distfiles are distributable, so You can use it
how You wish :)
Many patches are taked from other distros - and have informations about
it in cvs logs.
When You need information from autor ask people which add this file to
cvs:
