Not to my knowledge.
The copyright assignment is signed by contributors. I'm not aware of
any negociations, and I'd be surprised to learn that there are private
negociations.

This suggests that the copyright status of Emacs is uncertain.
I hope you understand it is quite a serious statement and requires
some evidence.
The copyright status for code in Org's code is very clear, and I think
this is also the case for the copyright status of the rest of Emacs.
I sometimes get impatient when I have to wait for the FSF Copyright
Clerk to handle new copyright assignments for a new contributor, but
I know he has a lot of work and he's doing a great job.
