Only that the FSF does not offer a "past and future" option for disclaimers like it does for assignments, so a new disclaimer would have to be completed for every new change. I thought this was not worth bothering with, so I advised you not to send more patches. But I certainly don't know, I just go with whatever assign@gnu says. I don't see much point discussing this on emacs-devel. None of us are lawyers so our opinions are pretty irrelevant. We need to wait and see what assign@gnu says.
