Honestly, I see no relationship between integrity of source tree and giving away copyright...
If you are not in a position to hand over the copyright for a checkin then there are most likely a need for thorough analysis of licenses.
It depends. If my contribution is trivial (like bugfixes), it makes no difference. If it is not trivial (or significant, or contains some code which is used somewhere else, etc) - I would like to keep my copyright, of course. That's why I started this discussion - to understand what is what.
