The CLA itself is fairly straightforward on its requirements. 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Licenses clarifies the rationale. 
Moving forward, Red Hat is aiming to transfer all of the related 
copyrights, patents etc to the Fedora Foundation. Again, if anyone has 
concerns as a potential contributor, these should be raised in the 
appropriate mailing lists. For packagers, fedora-extras list would be 
appropriate.

Rahul
