Personally, I don't.

The FSF has, in my own humble opinion, a bad track record of
publishing and/or promoting licenses that I personally consider non-free
(GFDL, AfferoGPLv3, endorsement for some Creative Commons licenses, ...).
As a consequence, I don't trust the FSF to be a good copyright holder
and I find the FSF's insisting on copyright transfer for all official
GNU software unsettling.

This is my own personal opinion on this matter.
