Hello Xavier, first, I don't work for yorba and I am not a lawyer, so take this with a grain of salt, but: the yorba coding guidelines[1] ask you to put a file header declaring copyright to the yorba foundation in all source files you submit, which, I guess could be understood as an implicit copyright assignment. On the other hand, I have contributed a little code and they haven't asked me to sign either a formal contributor license agreement (CLA) or to explicitely assign copyright to Yorba, like e.g. the FSF does. Again, IANAL, but I understand that even if there was a CLA you'd still remain the owner of the copyright, but would be agreeing to a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, etc... license to distribute your code.
