There is a "Contributor License Agreement" and the important passage is
this:

2. You hereby grant to the Foundation a non-exclusive, irrevocable,
   worldwide, no-charge, transferable copyright license to use,
   execute, prepare derivative works of, and distribute (internally
   and externally, in object code and, if included in your
   Contributions, source code form) your Contributions.  Except for the
   rights granted to the Foundation in this paragraph, You reserve all
   right, title and interest in and to your Contributions.

If I understand this right, one maintains the intelectual property of ones
work.

Regards,
Thorsten
