Not involving copyright indeed, it doesn't properly address the issues under discussion. Anyway: - It does something good in identifying contributions and warrantying against violation of third party rights. - It allows the receiving entity to upgrade the license automatically (only from LGPL/GPL/AGPL 3 to the next one, and so on) but you can oppose in the first month after the new license is released; and this seems to go toward uncertainty, which is bad. - It is still mandatory paperwork. And mandatory paperwork must be justified by good reasons, and those in this agreement do not seem good enough to me, since it's a trade-off that does not empower the entity enough (of course, this is my point of view!).
