Thanks. I'm not sure about this either, but
1. The FSF is finicky about having documented assurances of code
ownership (and rightly so).
2. HP's existing assignment agreement applies only to contributions
explicitly made by specific employees.
3. AdaCore does not own any of the code from which some of its planned
submissions will derive; HP does.
So I conclude that some sort of symbolic act is needed so that AdaCore
will clearly be submitting mods to sources clearly assigned to the FSF.
Again, thanks for your help.
