I don't have any information about this either, only a thought. If I contributed code to an open source project like SA, I'm contributing it under the conditions of whatever licensing scheme(s) the project already utilizes. Because of that my code couldn't subsequently be taken by even the original author of said project and rereleased under another license, can it? I'd expect this to be the case unless the license I'm contributing the code under says that I'm really just giving the original author a gift of code and relinquishing all my rights to it. Then it would become the original author's property to do with as they please, presumably. I don't know, just tossing out the first thought that popped into my mind.
