Hi everybody,
sorry for replying so late to this discussion. I stopped following the
list a while ago. Rasmus was so kind and tracked me down.

Viktor, what is your positions on this?
I had actually started the copyright assignment process in September but
did not follow through with it because I did not fully understand the
document and did not like some of the language. However, I'm willing to
give it another shot and have sent my questions to the FSF.
FWIW, I think that the copyright assignment process creates a huge
barrier of entry to contribute to Orgmode and that it's unfortunate that
one has to jump through hoops like this to contribute actual code
(whereas other contributions, e.g., documentation, have no such
obligation attached).
Also, my view of the document, as I understand it, is that it's very
one-sided and unfair to the developer, specifically the future works and
indemnification clauses. For the record, I will not sign a document
containing the indemnification clause as it currently stands.
Cheers,
Viktor
