The basic problem about contributor license agreements remains the same. 
Someone who contributes to a little project probably maintained by no 
more than a single programmer will not care to sign a contributor 
license agreement if he applies changes to the software. The same 
applies in a more far-ranging form to distributors. I would not be able 
to use distributor´s fixes unless they would do me the favour to sign 
the CLA.
