Just to sort of close a loop here -- I got a response back. I'll follow up more offlist, but to summarize: The FSF apologizes for the delays but also explains that there's a bit more to it than described above. The process isn't actually stuck, as the FSF responded as recently as Jan 17, and the delay mainly revolves around the fact that EzLabs wants a non-standard assignment. Hopefully it'll all be sorted out soon. Thanks, Pedro Alves
