The file is set up to allow non-ICLA signers to be represented. If an ICLA is filed, the 5th field is “Signed CLA;path-to-file-in-documents-iclas”. So if the 5th field is not “Signed CLA” we then have a non-CLA entry. I don’t have a problem with that as long as: 1. It’s rare. 2. It’s documented. 3. It’s useful.
