1. FSF (NA) !=3D FSF Europe
2. Read the FLA before trying to comment on it, _please_. You'd have=20
noticed that you retain all use rights, esp. are free to re-license the=20
code and re-use it anywhere you want. There's nothing that effectively=20
changes for you, except that your code is cared for in court and if you=20
lose interest or die. The contract becomes void if the FSF doesn't act=20
on your behalf, etc, etc.

3. The question is not to assign your rights to the FSF(E), but to _KDE=20
e.V._ of which you are apparently a member. That the e.V. delegates the=20
enforcement of the (L)GPL for you to the FSFE would just be a needed=20
workaround for the fact that the e.V. is not yet equipped to enforce it=20
itself. If you don't trust the e.V., then why are you are member?
