What does "CLA" stand for?

edit: apparently Contributor License Agreement

CLAs are generally a statement that you ensure code you contribute is acceptable by the licensing and legal things around them.

They don't want to accidentally bring in GPL-3 or private code into an Apache licensed project, and my understanding is this is a self-certifying statement that you won't and have full rights to make the contributions
