IANAL but I've read quite a number of CLAs in the past.

This one seems to me very similar to ones used by Apache and other
non-profit open source foundation, and much less like the restrictive
ones used by Apple and Sun in the past. Can anyone else see a clause
that prevents contributors issuing additional licenses for their
contributions...?
