I'd check the non-profit carefully before assigning copyright.

With the FSF you can be pretty sure the licence will stay free.

The Apache foundation commit to "Open Source" in the same manner.

In most instances you have little to gain, and potentially a lot to lose
in assigning copyright.

So unless there is a compelling reason keep ownership of what you write.

You can always relicense code when you think you need to make more money
like Oracle have just done.
