Mandelstam is quoted as saying, "You can't contribute to Asterisk unless you give your rights away." This statement is not correct.
When you contribute to the Asterisk project, you submit a license agreement to Digium. This agreement grants Digium an unlimited license to use the code. However, it does _not_ have anything to do with the rights of the original copyright holder. As a contributor to Asterisk, you still own complete copyright of your work. You can do whatever you want to with your code. You have simply granted a license to Digium to use it, as well.

This is an important distinction to make.
