The FSF wants legal documentation so they can prove that it is in the
public domain - just in case the author has second thoughts later, I
guess.
Or if the author's employer claims that something was a work for
hire. That's the point of the employer-disclaimer, which is separate
conceptutally from the copyright assignment. So for PD code this
still applies; it's arguably only really PD if the person who said so
was the copyright owner, so a signed statement from the author that
it's PD and from employer (anyone who might have a work-for-hire
claim) disclaiming copyright interest should do, at least
conceptually.
IANAL, TINLA, blah blah blah.
