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).
