Its probably real errors, however license issues range low on the todo
list I think.

Change the code, create a diff (using svn diff) and then send it to the
apropriate mailinglist for review and comitting.

No, its actually fine to commit those ebn fixes directly (unless you
didn't understand the change you did ;) Developer's will get tired of
reviewing and comitting these changes as most of them are pretty simple
to do and you can't do much wrong.

Contact the list that belongs to the module you want to work on,
possibly with a patch at hand.
