SubjectWhy the FSF collects copyright assignments.
The paramount reason Eben Moglen has the FSF accepting contributions 
only with copyright assignment is because the grantor of a license that
is a gratuity (no consideration (read: usually money) given) can remove
the permission regarding the use of his property at his pleasure.

(Regardless of the story was promulgated for the public)
