In the case of the sentance it does not say reassignment of GNU code... but FSF code. THe FSF may have changed this recently, but if a codebase was considered already to be FSF (coreutils, binutils, etc) then you had to do the copyright signover if you wanted them to look at the patch (and I mean that literally for at least one patch I sent in).

That might have to do with FSF being able to insure that it can conveniently defend the code in court.
