I hope parent commentor clarifies this: do you still get to claim a fork of your contributed code as copyrighted to yourself? The standing problem goes both ways; if you distributed your fork but you had licensed it from the FSF, won't you lack standing from unauthorized use?

I can't edit my comment; sorry. I meant "your project's code".

Yes, you lack standing. The FSF owns copyright.

Is it legally possible to share copyright?

I believe so - as long as you license it with the GPL.
