In theory, that might even be easier, since systemd config files are more structured than sysvinit shell scripts - it may be practical to automatically convert them (or for the replacement to read them directly) instead of emulating traditional behavior.

Valve has already done more to get linux mainstream than Canonical has done in 10 years.

but you could fork it anyway if you don't like the CLA
in my opinion GPL > GPL + CLA > permissive license
Just release patches for Debians Upstart GPL only, and Canonical can't legaly use in a closed source version.

You can look at this particular sub-thread to see clearly what the diversity of opinion is on this subject (even inside the so prejudicely called "team canonical") :
Everyone was pretty open on the systemd/upstart question, but this is where the debate is very intense (if not hostile). Because both sides are ironically thinking that choosing the other option would fundamentally break Debian as the place where as long as it is free software it is welcome. And no one wants to compromise that.
