disclaiming copyright.

This is something I stumbled over some month ago when I studied the submission rules:

I am now a lawyer, but as far as I know in my country (germany) it is not possible to decline copyright (called Urheberrecht here - it's not exactly the same but close). You can give away the usage-rights to your code at will and for free (by putting your code into public domain for example), but declining "Urheberrecht" is not possible.

How does the FSF deals with this issue?
