What do you mean by "patches based on Adobe IP"?

Did people commit code that they don't own or suggest patches based on
code that they don't own?
Where exactly? (URLs)

Does this mean there are files in Flex's svn that contain IP that
hasn't been cleared?

I'm probably missing context here, trying to understand.

I did suggest some improvements to a file that hasn't been donated by Adobe yet. No patches have been supplied or code committed to SVN.

To my knowledge no one has submitted any patches that would have any IP issues and there's nothing committed to SVN that hasn't been cleared.

Sorry for the confusion here I was just trying to support (and improve) a suggested improvement to the HTML template file which hasn't been cleared (or submitted into SVN) by Adobe as yet.

Thanks,
Justin
