Then, I think the FSF has no solution but to discard contributions
from quite a few people. How many employers actually are going to
issue such a disclaimer? In all academic places I know, at least,
you'll never get anything like that, just because it's not a standard
paper and they simply don't care about doing it.
The fact is: the FSF doesn't request such a disclaimer. Little use
being more royalist than the king (don't know if that translates well
from the French idiom, but you get the idea).
