The fact is (I presume) that copyright *was* assigned to the FSF and therefore the FSF is the entity that can determine the rights of copy, distribution, etc of the code. This is very common in publishing: the author is asked to assign copyright to the publisher, and it is then the publisher who has rights formerly held by the author.
