This is incorrect.
> Assignment and Contribution Models. The .NET Foundation uses either an assignment model or a contribution model for on-boarding new projects. Under the assignment model, a project transfers ownership of the copyright to the .NET Foundation. Under the contribution model, a project retains ownership of the copyright, but grants the .NET Foundation a broad license to the project’s code and other intellectual property. The project also confirms that the project’s submissions to .NET Foundation are its own original work (there are also instructions for any third party materials that might be included).
They accept both models (Contribution and Assignment).

- Aaronontheweb 5y agoLooks like you're right - they removed that option and added it back: https://github.com/dotnet-foundation/projects/commit/7debb1579bbfe4c1469b0c89cdc8f1ce19ff8610 https://github.com/dotnet-foundation/projects/commit/7debb15...
- gortok 5y agoThe PR that removed the Contribution model was only merged for 2 hours before it was reverted: https://github.com/dotnet-foundation/projects/issues/122 https://github.com/dotnet-foundation/projects/issues/122
- Aaronontheweb 5y agoAnd it was never discussed nor has it ever really been revisited since, as you point out in your own comments on that issue. This is part of the larger issue of how the DFN interacts (or lack thereof) with its own member projects and usually only lets us know about changes after they're announced
