When you say it is "annoying", that describes your feelings.  I can't
argue with your feelings, but to get annoyed by a little work that
one needs to do at most twice in a lifetime seems to me excessive.

On the other hand, saying it is "fruitless" and "useless" is simply
incorrect.  It helps us enforce the GNU GPL.

  > Both positions are only "a matter of principle"

Our policy of requiring copyright assignments is entirely a practical
matter -- to help us enforce the GPL.
