As far as I can tell this is false; see [1].

Indeed, these are examples of projects requiring an assignment—and
that’s generally the norm—but not all GNU projects do, and it’s
ultimately up to the author(s) of the package to decide.  For instance,
GNU Guix doesn’t require contributors to assign copyright to the FSF.
