Yes. But this is a one-time procedure, there's no need to assign the copyright each time you submit a contribution. > I have started putting my pgp key on some keyservers.

There's no need to do anything with PGP up front. You fill the form, which I attach below, and email it according to instructions. In response, you will receive an email telling you how to proceed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please email the following information to assign@gnu.org, and we will send you the assignment form for your past and future changes.
