Yes you did..

Otherwise, they would have to keep a separate branch, one for opensource one 
for commercial.

Anything you submit can be incorporated in both.

Subject: [Interest] Contributor agreement rundown

I went to register for a Gerrit account.  There I saw that I must agree to a 
"contributor agreement".  It's very legalese, so I'm not sure if it means what 
I think it means: Nokia can transform open source code I contribute into 
non-open code?

"Licensor hereby grants, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the 
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, to Nokia a 
sublicensable, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free 
and fully paid-up copyright and trade secret license to reproduce, adapt, 
translate, modify, and prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly 
perform, sublicense, make available and distribute Licensor Contribution(s) and 
any derivative works thereof under license terms of Nokia’s choosing including 
any Open Source Software license."

The beef is the phrase "under license terms of Nokia’s choosing", which can be 
an open license, but is not required to.

Did I understand that correctly?
