You can't just assign copyright to somebody without asking them, much like you can't just assign parentship to somebody without asking them. Since Thien-Thi Nguyen assigned copyright to GOOPS and general changes to future changes to GUILE to the FSF in 2000 already, it is more or less a matter of him checking in the changes or otherwise contributing them in a manner making clear that the contribution is intentional. Matching copyright headers are obviously a good indicator for that. -- David Kastrup
