Of course the assignment of copyright needs the assent of
the assignee. You can't just go putting
copyright Bill Clinton, all rights reserved
on something you own the copyright too.
Assigning a copyright to the FSF requires a formal legal
agreement (as does any copyright assignment). There are
some standard legal forms for this. Note that the FSF will
not accept assignment unless you provide appropriate
indemnification, see the form for details!
