I'm reminded of the infamous Mojang/Microsoft fiasco with the Bukkit community. They gave no support to a project, after "secretly" acquiring it when they hired some of the developers, letting a volunteer work hard for years maintaining it.
He was rightfully outraged when he discovered he had basically done years of free labor for Microsoft, and ended up leveraging a DMCA notice to shutter the project, due to the lack of a CLA and the inherent nature of Bukkit being ultimately glued onto the Mojang server jar to be useful.
