Test-misc.out only lists one failure "long double overflow test failed:
0".  Hardly a problem I guess.

I already assigned copyright for another project, and FSF accepted that.
AFAIR under german law it is interpreted as licensing all my rights to
FSF (although legally still being the author of the works).  Under
german law I can't even put stuff in the public domain, although again
if I wrote that I did so, it'll be interpreted as giving an unrestricted
license to anybody (Konkludentes Handeln, maybe "implied-in-fact
contract").
