Thank you for the clarification.  I didn't read it or don't remember it.
And I signed it because I thought I was advancing the FSF's goals.
But now I went and read it.  My assignment from 2012 thanks
me for my contribution,  emphatically.  But indeed it does not say
I support this or that cause.

I guess all I'm saying I wouldn't voluntarily "contribute" to the
Freedom-denying Software Foundation, is all.
