Keeping the software free, i.e. not proprietary, even from maintainers trying to make it so, is the very point of GPL. When you ask contributors to sign a CLA, you are saying that you might want make it proprietary in the future and reserve the ability to do so. You should never sign one if you don't want to contribute to proprietary software.
