Are corporate CLAs also destructive for permissively licensed projects?
Eg, GitLab and Phabricator both have them.

One possible comment is if the CLA in an apache 2.0 project is if it makes the parent field uneven, that would be bad. Is this possible? I assume so but have not looked into it.
More likely patent unevenness in a MIT+CLA project than an Apache2+CLA one.
I know it is a big part of reason why many object to CLAs, but I don't care about copyright uneveness. Whether all or one have ability to make proprietary version, the problem is proprietary versions, the solution is free version dominating. Uneveness do not care.

Gitlab has a copyright assignment. They can take contributions and drop them only into the proprietary fork if they wish. That's rather more than a CLA.

Gitlab has a great choice. I know this is not them.
