Yes, but that was the choice of the original authors in every case. The trick with the major projects is that they were almost all started / funded by the FSF.

Kernel developers' position on GPLv3

When in the past I sent in patches to FSF code, I was asked to sign over my copyright of that patch to the FSF for it to be accepted. This was listed by others I asked as the standard FSF practice. I think this is what they are referring to.

[I can patch binutils all I want, but if I want the official binutils to have those patches.. I have to reassign the copyright to the FSF.]
