8.2 Assigning Copyrights to the FSF
===================================
For any change of more than just a few lines, you will need to assign
copyright in (that is, ownership of) those changes to the Free Software
Foundation.
This is generally an easy thing to do. In particular, you can choose
to use a version of the copyright assignment which assigns all your
current _and future_ changes to 'gawk' to the FSF. This means that you
only need to do the paperwork once, and from then on all your changes
will automatically belong to the FSF. The maintainer recommends doing
this.
The maintainer will help you with this process once you have a
contribution that warrants it.
