Thank you for that reference.  I also found a reference on lwn.net:
<https://lwn.net/Articles/543339/>.

The article made an interesting observation, and one that I didn't know
to be true:

#+begin_quote
  But anybody who has signed such agreement might want to be aware that
  the FSF thinks it owns their changes, regardless of whether they have
  been publicly posted or explicitly submitted for inclusion. One could
  argue that entirely private changes made by a signatory to that
  agreement are, despite being seen by nobody else, owned by the
  FSF. Even an entirely separate function written in Emacs Lisp —
  something which is not necessarily a derived work based on Emacs and
  which thus might not be required to be distributed under the GPL —
  might be subject to a claim of ownership by the FSF, at least until
  Richard has a chance to "think about" the situation. That may be a bit
  more than some signatories thought they were agreeing to.
#+end_quote

This may be off-topic, but I figured readers of this mailing list might
find the above interesting (assuming it is still FSF's stance on the
topic).
