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!
