We should however make a decision to extend the right to the contributor to do whatever she wants with it (the contribution). That right is however not transferable to another party.
The latter part makes no sense to me. If you don't want to allow a contributor to make a parallel release under a (say) BSD-like license, then you should say more clearly what the contributor can and cannot do.

No, that is not how it works. IDA owns the copyright. Period. We should however make a decision to extend the right to the contributor to do whatever she wants with it (the contribution). That right is however not transferable to another party. To complicate matters even more you can not completely give away copyright under Swedish law, but that does not interfere much with matters.
