I'm willing to assign copyright to IDA because it's really only a few lines of code, but I do think it's a dumb policy.
Its an excellent policy. Projects can end up with hundreds of random contributors over the years, and then if they need to change licensing terms for whatever reason, they basically can't. Good luck tracking down and getting permission from every single person. If the project is assigned copyright of all contributions, they can do whatever they want licensing wise.
