Searching model contract for releasing Free Software

Hi,
I'm writing software as employe of an Swiss university and
therefore the university owns the right of use.
Luckily the university is encouraging the publication of
Free Software and thus I'm allowed to release my software
under a Free Software license if my professor agrees with
this (which he will).
The only information I could get from the patent and legal
office of my university was that any informal document signed
by my professor will be ok. But instead of writing
such a document on my own (I'm a computer scientist and not a
lawyer) I would prefer to have some model contract that I
could adopt.
Has anyone seen such a contract (preferable in German or English),
e.g. a document where the employer transfers is right to use
back to the employee for releasing the software as Free Software?
The best I found, was the Fiduciary Licence Agreement
http://www.fsfeurope.org/projects/fla/fla.en.html .
Any other hints or tips?
Achim
