When does the FSF own your code?
For the benefit of other travellers, these appear to be the two most easily found summaries, one from 2004 and one from 2007. Quick skim reading suggests that the code was "less contributed" in that case (eg, not submitted at all) than in this one (posted for inclusion, but not included in an actual official release yet). So those two situations could be distinguished from one another, on that basis, were one inclined to do so. (But as this article points out, a literal ready of the contributor agreement might say something else again, from what the common practice has been, which may arguably cover both situations.)
