Sigh. That makes the license remain copyrighted by the FSF, but does
not affect your software. Without an explicit transfer of copyright
(and a legal step such as transfer of ownership requires _two_
consenting parties and can't be done unilaterally by writing some
stuff into a file), the copyright remains with the author.
