As I understand it, the foundation is in the US, so it would need 
written copyright assignment from all contributors before it could take 
ownership of contribution copyrights like that.  It's the same reason 
you have to send papers to FSF before you can contribute much to most 
GNU projects.

The foundation could require a particular copyright licence on all 
contributions and - if the contribution licence allows - distribute 
under a different licence, like "commercial complete republication 
forbidden".  It would be helpful to me if code snippets could be reused 
under the same terms as the rest of Cake, though.

However, I suggest checking the above comments with a lawyer.  I'm 
neither in the US, nor a copyright lawyer, but I doubt whoever wrote 
those terms of service was a US lawyer either.

Hope that helps,
