Getting the FSF Copyright assignment can take a while, in the past it involved sending snail mail papers and could take a few weeks or more, I think nowadays it is through email but still can take some time. The DCO is described in the link above. As for the Copyright line, I must say I don't know, https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2021-June/236217.html says that it probably should be just Copyright The GNU Toolchain Authors. in that case, but we have the DCO option only for less than a year and apparently no file has such a Copyright line. If you wish to use FSF Copyright assignment, somebody needs to mail you details that you fill in and mail to FSF. Jakub
