Yeah, I thought about that, and unless you form a nonprofit with explicit governance requiring the release to all code, and the CLA is to the nonprofit, it would be difficult to guarantee. Even the nonprofit route isn't a guarantee, which is why I would evaluate each organization separately for their history and governance. It would likely take some time for a new organization to develop the reputation.
