Yeah, this is a crucial question IMHO. There was a similar discussion
about LLVM licensing recently:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2015-October/thread.html#91536
From this thread I gathered that:
1) Google is quite serious about CLAs;
2) Google has ideas about copyright/licensing/etc which contradict
beliefs held widely in the community;
3) Google is not inclined to explain the situation to the community,
judging by
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2015-October/091752.html
Given its past legal troubles, Google has enough stimuli to study the
topic very carefully and it could be right. But could be wrong as well.
Anyway, I don't think that just saying that CLAs are required is going
to change the opinion of the community.
