Hi
Here is the Fedora CLA
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Licenses/CLA
That the contributor licenses his contribution to Redhat and the
recipients downstream on a more liberal basis (2.a) that may be the case
for the license of the contributed work is probably what raised an
eyebrow. But it hardly seems evil, particularly as Redhat are desperate
to get any even small structural contribution performed upstream,
outside this agreement, anyway...

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.
