And your CLA [1] does not reassign copyright, ensuring that you can't re-license later. Good on you!

The CLA gives permission to sublicense, but it isn't clear to me if this allows proprietary relicensing or not.

Lead maintainer of Pixie here.

Pixie will remain licensed under Apache 2.0. We are also working on moving Pixie over to the CNCF, to maintain this guarantee. This is being tracked here: https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues/651

In addition, we will likely move to a DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin). We are still trying to figure out the exact logistics, but this will allow commits to happen without signing a CLA.
