It's not a worry.  The FSF won't accept a contribution from Phil on
behalf of somebody else, and Phil won't erase somebody else's
copyright notice.

The worst that's going to happen is that RMS is going to say "GNU
won't distribute this under a permissive license" (and possibly not
under the GPL).  In fact, that's a near certainty, which is why I
asked for Phil's help for the main body.
