-The way to assign copyright to the Foundation is to sign an assignment

-that we can register the copyright on the new version.
-I'm assuming that you wrote these changes yourself;
-if other people wrote parts, we may need papers from them.
-
-If you are employed to do writing (even at a university), or have
-made an agreement with your employer or school saying it owns text

-   For good and valuable consideration, receipt of which I acknowledge, I,
-NAME OF PERSON, hereby transfer to the Free Software Foundation, Inc. (the
-"Foundation") my entire right, title, and interest (including all rights
-under copyright) in my changes and enhancements to the manual "NAME OF
-MANUAL", subject to the conditions below.  These changes and enhancements
-are herein called the "Work".  The work hereby assigned shall also include
-any future revisions of these changes and enhancements hereafter made by me.
-
-   Upon thirty days' prior written notice, the Foundation agrees to
-grant me non-exclusive rights to use the Work (i.e. my changes and
-enhancements, not the manual which I enhanced) as I see fit; (and the
-Foundation's rights shall otherwise continue unchanged).
-
-   For the purposes of this contract, a work "based on the Work" means
-any work that in whole or in part incorporates or is derived from all or
-part of the Work.
-
-   The Foundation promises that all distribution of the Work, or of any
-work "based on the Work", that takes place under the control of the
-Foundation or its assignees, shall be on terms that explicitly and
-perpetually permit anyone possessing a copy of the work to which the terms
-apply, and possessing accurate notice of these terms, to redistribute
-copies of the work to anyone on the same terms.  These terms shall not
-restrict which members of the public copies may be distributed to.  These
-terms shall not require a member of the public to pay any royalty to the
-Foundation or to anyone else for any permitted use of the work they apply
-to, or to communicate with the Foundation or its agents in any way either
-when redistribution is performed or on any other occasion.
-
-   The Foundation promises to give or send me, upon reasonable prior notice
-and payment of a fee no more than twenty times the cost of the necessary
-materials and postage, a copy of any or all of the works "based on the
-Work" that it offers to the public or that it has offered within the
-past six months, or that it distributed for the first time within the past
-six months.  My request shall detail whether I wish to receive all
-such works or specific works.  My choice of works to request may affect the
-cost and therefore the fee.
-
-   I hereby represent and warrant that I am the sole copyright holder for the
-Work and that I have the right and power to enter into this contract.  I
-hereby indemnify and hold harmless the Foundation, its officers, employees,
-and agents against any and all claims, actions or damages (including
-attorney's reasonable fees) asserted by or paid to any party on account of a
-breach or alleged breach of the foregoing warranty.  I make no other express

-I'd like to ask you to sign a disclaimer for the manual, thus putting
-it in the public domain.  (For a small manual such as this, it's not
-worth our trying to assert a copyleft.)
-
-    I, <name of person>, hereby disclaim all copyright interest in my
-    manual <manual> which does <one-line description>.
-
-    I affirm that I have no other proprietary interest
-    that would undermine this release, and will do nothing to undermine
-    it in the future.  I represent that the work is my own and not
-    a copy of someone else's work.
-
-    <signature and date>
-
-*Don't forget to include the date.*
-Spell out the month name--don't use a number for the month.  Dates
-using a number for the month are ambiguous; 2/8/95 means one thing in
-the US and another in Europe.
-
-If you are employed to do writing (even at a university), or have made
-an agreement with your employer or school saying it owns what you
-write, then we also need a signed disclaimer from your employer or
-school.
-
-This disclaimer should be signed by a vice president or general
-manager of the company.  If you can't get at them, anyone else
-authorized to license software produced there will do.  Here is a
-sample wording:
-
-  Yoyodyne, Inc. hereby disclaims all copyright interest
-  in the manual "sample.tex" written by Hugh Hacker, including both the
-  present version of the program and his/her future changes and
-  enhancements to it.  We do not consider it or them as a work made
-  for hire for us.
-
-  Yoyodyne, Inc. affirms that it has no other
-  proprietary interest that would undermine this release,
-  and will do nothing to undermine it in the future.
-
-  <signature of Moe Ghoul>, 1 April 1987
-  Moe Ghoul, President of Vice, Yoyodyne, Inc.
-
-If your employer says they do have a claim that could conflict with the
-use of the manual, then please put me in touch with a suitable
-representative of the company, so that we can negotiate what to do
-about it.
-
-IMPORTANT: When you talk to your employer, *no matter what
-instructions they have given you*, don't fail to show them the sample
-disclaimer above, or a disclaimer with the details filled in for your
-specific case.  Companies are usually willing to sign a disclaimer
-without any fuss.  If you make your request less specific, you may
-create spurious anxieties about issues that don't pertain to the
-real situation. That could cause a long and unnecessary delay.
