No problem.  louixs and I had an agreement regarding FSF copyright
assignment at the time of my accepting his pull request
(https://github.com/nobiot/org-transclusion/pull/82#issuecomment-861225958),
so I see no issues.  As it was a while ago (June this year),I will go
back to him to confirm again and ask him if he could do the paperwork.

Good to know that this option is available.  I understand this policy and
I will be happy to keep using GitHub as a remote repository for
elpa.gnu.org.

Thank you.  I will let you know once I have the FSF confirmation.  I
will also add the suggested lines in the .el files in the repository.

Thanks again.
