    Richard, an issue came up related to gnulib: I want to move a module
    from GNUPDF written by Jose E. Marchesi <address@hidden> (I have his
    permission to do so).  The code is copyrighted by the FSF, Jose signed
    papers for GNUPDF but not gnulib.  Does he need to sign papers again for
    gnulib?

The code he has written is already assigned to the FSF; once that is
the case, we can put it wherever we want, and it will remain copyright
FSF.

In regard to his future changes, if he makes them for GNU PDF, they
will also be assigned by the assignment he signed for GNU PDF, so we
can put them wherever we want and they will remain copyright FSF.

If he sends you a change to that code for GNUlib, please ask him to
put it in GNUPDF first, so that his assignment will cover it.  Then
you can get it out of GNUPDF.  He could also sign an assignment for
GNUlib and then he could send you changes specifically for GNUlib.
