Perhaps this is relevant although it is about the fsf(clarification added after comments): https://www.theregister.com/2021/06/16/glibc_gnulib_fsf_copy...

The glibc stewards are seeking input from developers to decide if the project should relax the requirement to assign copyright for all changes to the Free Software Foundation,"

I do not, and have never, had an assignment in place (it's a running joke that my patch contributions have been all-minus-signs)," wrote glibc contributor Rich Felker, "but given recent behaviour by the FSF board, I am completely unwilling to assign copyright to them in the future, so not making this change may affect my ability to contribute.

...not eye to eye with Gilmore? Thanks for gnu tar, liberating bsd, parts of gnu make, gbd, curating binutils and gcc with Cygnus, helping in the crypto wars, frees/wan, boots, gnu radio, one laptop per child... so it might be hard to be eye to eye me thinks...
