That is a bit too simplistic view.  The fact is that the FSF requires
copyright assignment for all core GNU software (see
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/why-assign.html).  For reasons German
lawyers - specialized on Free Software issues - can't agree with, that
university does not want to sign such papers.

One of the reasons to found the FSF-Europe ist to tackle such legal
problems.  Eben Moglen is now working with European lawyers to get these
things solved. 

Ciao,

  Werner
