The patch is probably small enough to be admissible without the assignment,
but in its current form it is unfortuantely not acceptable because you have to
make sure that the user didn't request strict adherence to a Fortran standard
pre-F2003 (see gfc_notify_std() and its uses), and with those tests it will
probably become to large to be accepted without a copyright assignment.
We also require testsuite coverage for new language features.
