Re: “GNU welcomes contributions from all and everyone” in context of the proposed “GNU social contract”

[Jason Self]

Some GNU packages do require copyright assignment to the FSF but
anyone is able to do so. Note that the blog post is from 9 years ago.
The FSF has made improvements to the process since then [0] and it's
now entirely paperless [1]. Some amount of formality will always be
needed to keep the copyright transfer formally documented and legally
sound.
