As far as emacs code is concerned, the FSF wants the code to be under
a free licence, but it also wants to hold the copyright. Why ? Because
the FSF makes new licences on a constant basis, ans only the copyright
owner is allowed to change the licence.

No, the footer is right, GPLV2 is all about distribution permissions,
not about copyright holding, which is the real problem I suspect.
But I'm not sure, anybody to confirm that the FSF applies the same
policy for documentation ?
