Do you truly see no difference between assigning rights to your own code to a non-profit foundation dedicated to Free Software and assigning rights to your own code to a for-profit company?

Especially when the for-profit company openly announces this assignment of rights is for the purpose of selling code you wrote to others without giving back to the authors.

The FSF doesn't have a track record of asking for CLAs, and then selling your code to others under different licenses and pocketing the profits.
