Agree with this. My simplified way of thinking about this is that the terms of the CLA are the same as the terms of the license and the CLA is just a way of getting contributors to explicitly say that all code they contribute will be under the terms of the license. As Richard Fontana pointed out on this list before, Signed-off-by could serve a similar process (while supporting the notion of a patch having multiple authors) with much less hassle, confusion and false security.
