An opposing viewpoint on CLAs: Why Your Project Doesn't Need a Contributor Licensing Agreement [0] (by Bradley M. Kuhn of the Software Freedom Conservancy) Essentially he argues that all a project needs is an "inbound=outbound" rule for contributions, in that any contributor agrees to license their code to the project under the same license as the project. This protects the contributor's interests while still ensuring that the project has the right to use the code.
