I am not an expert, but I read that a CLA is not needed for the gplv2 to 3 transition. it seems to me that
the CLA gives a blank check to the "company" to do whatever it wants with the contributed code:

- strenholme 5y agoSorry for the late reply: It depends on the copyright the software has. Some copyright has “GPLv2 or later”/“GPLv3 or later”; other copyright (such as the Linux kernel) is “GPLv2 only”. CLAs like this are not that uncommon; the Free Software Foundation (FSF) famously requires all patches over 10 lines long (or so) to have a formal copyright assignment given to them.
