I think in this case it means that any contributions or modifications
also become licensed under the CPL. So (unlike the BSD license) I
can't do an 'embrace and extend' on Clojure without releasing my
changes back to the community. The CPL also has specific wording to
deal with patents, so someone can't add a bunch of patented code
(either accidentally or deliberately) and later demand royalties for
using the patented stuff.
