Small correction, but a CLA is a contributor licensing agreement, not a copyright assignment. The contributor still owns the copyright to their code, they've just explicitly allowed the project to license their code under the terms of the project license.
- PieterH 10y agoI've fixed it. There are various models, CLA, assignment, etc. I didn't want to get into details of that.
- johncolanduoni 10y agoDepends on the CLA. Many CLAs (for example the one that RoboVM used that allowed them to switch their GPL licensed compiler to a closed source model more easily) do require copyright assignment.
