Contributors to the FlexWiki project who don't work for Microsoft must sign an agreement with Microsoft. This agreement does two things at the same time. First, it assigns ownership of your contribution to Microsoft. Second, it gives you back the rights you need to do anything you want with your contribution.

The objective here is to ensure that FlexWiki has a single clear owner to, for example, defend a copyright claim, etc. This is a fairly common practice on other open source projects, including those run by the FreeSoftwareFoundation.
