I certainly don't mind. You have my permission to use my contributions to 
the project for GNU Classpath. It's been so long, I can't remember whether 
I actually contributed code :)

I'll sign whatever assignment statement you want.

I would like to echo some of the other posters in emphasizing that it
doesn't matter whether each contributor claimed copyright; copyright as a
now springs into being automatically when a work is created and remains
with the author unless the author has an agreement with a third party
regarding the disposition of that copyright.
