Thank you for that reference. I also found a reference on lwn.net: <https://lwn.net/Articles/543339/>. The article made an interesting observation, and one that I didn't know to be true: #+begin_quote But anybody who has signed such agreement might want to be aware that the FSF thinks it owns their changes, regardless of whether they have been publicly posted or explicitly submitted for inclusion. One could argue that entirely private changes made by a signatory to that agreement are, despite being seen by nobody else, owned by the FSF. Even an entirely separate function written in Emacs Lisp — something which is not necessarily a derived work based on Emacs and which thus might not be required to be distributed under the GPL — might be subject to a claim of ownership by the FSF, at least until Richard has a chance to "think about" the situation. That may be a bit more than some signatories thought they were agreeing to. #+end_quote This may be off-topic, but I figured readers of this mailing list might find the above interesting (assuming it is still FSF's stance on the topic). -- Suhail
