[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 2/5] docs/manual: slightly clarify patch licensing

[Luca Ceresoli]

Adding a patch is a modification to Buildroot. Thus this sentence might be
interpreted as "Patches are released under the Buildroot license".

Being a legal matter, the last thing we want is to be
ambiguous. Reword the sentence to avoid any misunderstandings.
