This really needs to be a consensus based decision.  I would not feel comfortable
imposing such a change on the project, especially if there are strong objections
to it.

 From a personal point of view, I would like to continue to support the FSF and
it goal of Free Software for all.  But I understand that recent events have made
some contributors unhappy with the governance of the FSF and as a result they are
less willing to pursue copyright assignments.

Cheers
