And I'm not sure I think the free software community rage against CLAs makes sense, logically. Mir is GPLv3. A CLA allows Canonical to make proprietary versions. Arcan is BSD 3-clause. It doesn't need a CLA, *anybody* can make a proprietary version. Obviously Arcan isn't as popular as Mir. But setting that aside, how is GPLv3 + CLA worse than BSD 3-clause? Either way it opens the door for proprietary forks of the code.
Or are you one of the all-copyleft-all-the-time types? That's my own personal preference, but I don't see it expressed that often here and I don't advance that argument militantly because it does more harm than good.
