Dear Adam, Bastien,

I think that we are not very accurate here.
According to
https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Copyright-Papers:

   Once the conversation is under way and the contributor is ready for more
   details, you should send one of the templates that are found in the
   directory /gd/gnuorg/Copyright/; they are also available from the
   doc/Copyright/ directory of the gnulib project at
   https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib. This section explains which
   templates you should use in which circumstances. Please don’t use any of
   the templates except for those listed here, and please don’t change the
   wording.

We must use a specific form from a specific URL.

Also, about the changes to the FSF form that Stefan mentioned in
https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/jwvh6hne6nv.fsf-monnier+emacs@gnu.org/
It does not look like they are official yet. See
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2024-03/msg00060.html

I may be missing something, but the last sentence now reads like our
(Org maintainer's) inquiry rarely works.

The previous version is very different, IMHO:
