You are right that the GNU project wants an assignment for the core
OS. tar(1) is one of those important parts.  Well there is a very well
working tar available so it does not make sense to dispense with a
copyright assignment.  

I do not understand why a request for a copyright assignments reduces
freedom - especially not for the assignee who is not even bound to
the license and can change it as he likes.
