Although I feel that rms is being unreasonable about this, I recommend
everyone should do FSF copyright assignments if possible.  I cannot
currently, due to my employment at Sun.  Doug, you might find it
difficult for an IBM lawyer to sign anything as well, and that may be
required to satisfy rms.

No lawyer ever got fired for saying `No, don't do that; we might get sued'.
