Indeed, it's needed, but only very few employers really refuse to sign
the relevant paperwork (which is a disclaimer that they have no
copyright interest in your work on Emacs).

Many employers will need some convincing (and reminding), but if I were
you I wouldn't give up just on the assumption that it can't be done,
