Yes, as per the contribution agreement:

Note that you don't really have to sign this. The source is GPLd, so you 
can distribute your own viewer, or contribute to any of the freely 
available ones (like mine or Nicholaz's), but LL won't accept any patches 
from people who haven't signed the agreement.
