IANAL… you'd normally own the resulting program, so you'd be the one to
assign the copyright to the FSF as well (just as Google does for their
employees). But in some jurisdictions the programmer retains some
rights (and the moral rights on the works are non-transferrable) and
there the contract would need to spell out which parts of the copyright
are transferred to you so you can assign to the FSF. If the programmer
already has the copyright transferred to the FSF then things get even
more interesting. In short, have a lawyer that knows something about
copyright set up that contract.
Regards,
Achim.
