That seems like a strange concept. I can’t imagine anyone making that claim, and no one has in this thread. However, if a project includes their Contributor License Agreement in their source code (the DSO in this case), doing so does not pose any DFSG problems (and, indeed, is a good idea, because it strengthens the chain of custody of the open-source license presented by the project to the end users). -- Soren Stoutner soren@debian.org
