But I worry that IDA will claim copyright (and ownership) on my contribution. I just don't like this, when someone want to own something made by me :)
Not that it would limit you in any way in practice.
If you feel that way you can't contribute to the FSF either. I don't know in detail how other open source projects regulates this, but I believe any project that is even slightly concerned about not having to pull out code again would need an arrangement like that.

It was already in the CVS when we wrote the rules.
So the policy was different?
code that you would like to include under other arrangements than the standard one, please tell us why it is worth the legal trouble and we'll see what we can do.
I see no legal trouble at all if I will keep the copyright and license the contributed code under GPL/MPL/LGPL.
