Fair enough. Although experience shows that some packages with assigned copyright are barely maintained (even in Emacs's core), so obviously that's no silver bullet. 

My perspective is simple - don't mess with something that's working well. (e.g. you're getting many occasional contributors on GitHub and you want to keep it simple for them)
