I think a thing that doesn't help here is the use of the term CLA to
refer to two very different classes of things - one where it's
effectively an affirmative statement that you have the right to submit
this code (ie, something along the lines of the DCO Signed-Off-By:
process in the kernel), and one where it's either a broad grant of
additional permissions or an actual assignment of copyright. Is there
a problem with the former other than it introducing an additional
bureaucratic hurdle?
