I don't think this would solve all the problems I'm concerned about. If some people are going to use a repository of packages that we can't install in Emacs, I don't see why it helps to have that repository on an FSF machine. That way Free software packages that are NOT assigned to the FSF (such as paredit, which is declares itself to be in the Public Domain), If a program has been explicitly placed in the public domain, we could install it. That is an acceptable alternative to assigning the copyright.
