It's true, Collabnet probably needs to get copyright assignments from
coders (other than its own employees) before it really owns the code.
The FSF does this for significant contributions; Collabnet has been
sloppy. (I've been happy to ignore the problem, though.)

I like the territoriality policy. You'll be credited in the CVS log
entry, of course, which provides the necessary information.
