Maybe background on this: The FSF generally accepts copyright assignment only for FSF-copyrighted GNU software (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html#GNUsoftware, and the following paragraph), and dwz is no GNU software (https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/GNU), even if it uses the GPL. So, technically, because of the impossible assignment, the copyright remains with whomever wrote the code initially. If dwz were FSF-copyrighted software we would have preferred the FSF attribution in this case. (Of course, in the end, this is all fairly minor ;-) ) Ciao, Michael.
