Please let's not reopen this issue.
Jambunathan signed the FSF copyright assignment for his past and
future changes to Emacs code. He claims that he can retract this
assignment for changes he made against some Emacs files. FSF says
this is not possible.
And it does not take too big a brain to understand why: if people
were allowed to retract their assignment when they want for changes
that have been published, the copyright assignment process would
undermine the whole purpose of the GPL license, which is to make
it possible to let *others* contribute to free code.
If there were a problem, it would be a problem for Emacs, not for
upstream Org-mode, which can include any GPL code. But there is
no problem. Just someone upset, in bad need for a ban.
