That is why any contributor should read the CLA and understand before they sign it and contribute to any project that is under Canonical's CLA.
If a contributor is okay with Canonical using their code in that way, then they sign and contribute. If they are not okay with that, then they do not sign and do not contribute to the project.
I suggest you read Canonical's CLA to better understand how it works.
Canonical's CLA is not a code licence like GPL or BSD. It is a contract which if you agree to and sign gives Canonical the right to use your contributions in any way they want.
The CLA in no way circumvents the GPL.
