All software developed within the Foundation belongs to the ASF, and therefore the members. The members own the code and the direction of it and the Foundation. Committers get a shot at working on the code; good committers become members and thus get a piece of the ownership of the software and the direction. Commit access is a privilege, not a right, and is based on trust.
