> Do not contribute to projects that make you agree to a CLA.

There's nothing wrong with a CLA's existence, it just depends what it says. For example, the Caddy CLA [0] is borrowed from The Linux Foundation, and it basically says you either made the change originally, or have the rights to share the contribution, and that this goes into a public record and will be redistributed.

A DCO is a lot lighter than a full CLA.
