this would be a very bad idea - we are not the FSF, but just a bunch of Guix people, without particular legal and administrative resources. One could imagine assigning copyright to the FSF, but copyright assignments are a rather big barrier for contributing. Things seem to work quite well without adding more administration... Andreas
