The CLA is signed between contributers and the Fedora Project/Red Hat.
it has no meaning for a third party.

It's like company A and company B having a contract that all work done
by company A which gets submitted to B is bound to that contract. But
that has no meaning for a company C that might want to pick up the work
from company B.
