That is about copyright, not about the license. Organizations who requires this includes the FSF and Mozilla for example. See:

- bkor 13y agoBut FSF/GNU contributions are guaranteed to stay under a Free Software license. Canonical is not similar. Not at all the same situation. Further, IMO FSF/GNU/Mozilla are also bad for requesting this.
- warp 13y agoThe FSF doesn't require this for all GNU projects. Each GNU project can decide if they want to require a CLA or not.
