You're reading the wrong (old) copyright assignment document, btw.

Keep it nice, or don't bother at all.

Copyright assignment has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the the software
being released under the GPL. If you contribute to Evolution under copyright
assignment, you are NOT DOING SO under the GPL.

I am not sure you are interested in resolving this issue, and I don't
believe it seriously impacts your contribution to GNOME, so I'm not at all
impressed by your "outrage" and tone here.
