>Neither one gets final say; only by consensus can the community survive. Well, at least in the relevant case, the CLA does enforce the project has final say -- they can arbitrarily change the license of the whole project to, well, anything, without community say-so (technically they did approve it by signing the CLA, but otherwise) The problem of course is that licenses should sometimes be changed, to improve the project's long term health (ie including a missed clause), to improve prospects (adding a commercial exception), to improve freedom (upgrading to GPL), etc.
