I honestly don't know what "sublicensing" exactly means. However, Canonical's CLA which explicitely says they can relicense at will has a special clause for that (and as a result, many people don't want to sign this CLA). I don't think that "sublicensing" (which is present in many CLA people are happy to sign) means the same thing.
- dchest 9y agoSublicensing means granting some or all rights licensed to you to third parties. The original license agreement for contributions is the CLA, the receiving party of the CLA sublicenses some of the rights from the CLA to others in the form of the project's copyright license.
