You can only submit code you own, you have to have have copyright
assignment paperwork on file with the FSF (the paperwork), anybody
else that might have a claim has to assign (or disclaim) as well, such
as school/employer and last, it should not violate any patents unless
a worldwide royaltyfree non-exclusive license for those patents can be
assigned to the FSF[1].

might just be plain wrong (I am not an official spokesperson for
the FSF :-)). That should give you a fairly good idea of what it
required.
