Indeed, [2] page 19 is clear. [3] says the same thing.

Even better!
Then you are free to sign copyright assignment papers with any legal entity,
such as the FSF.

Why the hassle? Once you know - and you gave a citation from the ministery

confirmation from either the FSF or your university. The copyright assignment
only needs _your_ signature, then.
