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

So you think no one should contribute to the Linux Foundation’s projects? This is absurd. CLAs are not evil on their own, only their contents could be objectionable.

It would be more accurate to say copyright assignment is problematic, rather than CLAs in general, since as you say some CLAs are just about ensuring that you have permission (eg from your employer) to contribute to the project.

You can do that with a DCO without needing to use a CLA. CLAs generally exist to give the company permission to relicense, including as proprietary.
