MIT and BSD are so liberal that anyone can commercialize the work. All they have to do is attribute your parts to you, and not demand a warranty of you.

Why do corporate MIT-licensed projects have CLAs then?

(That's not meant a gotcha, I just don't really know how this stuff works)

CLAs in those cases may be more to cover their ass in case of disputes about authorship, the future of the project, or in case they forget attribution.
