My understanding (although IANAL) is that when you assign copyright to
FSF, you, as original author, still retain the right to relicense your
code as you see fit for other uses without involving the FSF.  So the fact
that you are willing to relicense means that you can put your own SHA-2
implementation under LGPL as Simon desired (I'm sure someone else will
correct me if I am mis-speaking).
