I was quite surprised yesterday to discover that there appears to have been an addition of a contributor license agreement expectation for contributions to this project.

As I have not heard anything about this previously, I do not know what the intent is, nor do I know what the actual details of the implementation are (as a non lawyer, I need someone to explain the legalese represented in the CLA document)

I am concerned that the addition of a CLA (to any project) is a step towards having the license and conditions of my contributions changed without my say or support. It definitely dilutes the open source nature of the project and is a change with a chilling effect.
