The third question and answer at the bottom of this page is informative:

Note that the FSF handle the license and the disclaimer separately.

Why is that?

"in this respect, too, Mr. Stallman was quite prescient, because they are 
going to recognize that the way they want their free software put together is 
the way the Free Software Foundation put it together since now more than 
twenty years. The way we're going, they're going to discover that they really 
would like to have it, is for each individual contribution of code to a free 
software project, if the guy who contributed the code was working in the 
industry, they would really like to have a work-for-hire disclaimer from the 
guy's employer, executed at the same time that the contribution was made. And 
the filing cabinets at the Free Software Foundation are going to look to them 
like an oasis in a desert of possible problems. We saw that problem coming. 
We have tried in our act as stewards over a large part of the free software 
in the world to deal with it. People are going to want to have that up front 
for everything that they can possibly, and they're going to be much more 
reluctant to rely on software that wasn't assembled in those ways."
