Unless you want to do the protecting yourself, yes, since it's pretty
difficult for the FSF to file a suit against someone without being the
copyright holder. Although, they have been known to help copyright
holders in negotiating with violators of their licenses.
In any case, it's not like you can't maintain your right to sublicense
your work if you do the copyright assignment to the FSF properly.
[From what I understand, the default language of the assignment
contains such a clause.]
