Copyright assignments to FSF are not required for GNU projects. They are recommended, though.
They are recommended because the copyright holders have the option of agreeing to stand up for the free/libre software movement, defending it accordingly, and in such case, they can keep the current copyrights. See [[http://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html#whatmeans]], where it says: #+BEGIN_QUOTE For a program to be GNU software does not require transferring copyright to the FSF; that is a separate question. If you transfer the copyright to the FSF, the FSF will enforce the GPL for the program if someone violates it; if you keep the copyright, enforcement will be up to you. #+END_QUOTE Also, if I recall correctly, if a GNU project is decomissioned, it should appear at [[http://www.gnu.org/software/]], but in the "Decomissioned GNU packages" section.
