Hi Carsten,

above in this document it's told

"For this you need to complete this form, send it to assign@gnu.org, and
tell the Org-mode maintainer when this process is complete."

Would consider it fair to read after second commata something like

"whereof you will receive the copyright-assignement contract. Tell ..."

The assignment contract is very different from the disclaimer visible so far.

Best,

Andreas
