The change in copyright-assignment policy proposed in June for the GNU C Library project
has now
been adopted
:

The changes to accept patches with or without FSF copyright
assignment will be effective after August 2nd, and will apply to
all open branches. Code shared with other GNU packages via Gnulib
will continue to require assignment to the FSF.

The library will continue to be licensed under the GNU Lesser Public
License v2.1 or later.
