Jujutsu: a new, Git-compatible version control system

A project where the development is primarily undertaken by a single corporate sponsor has, at best, significant risk regarding it's long term health since the sponsor may change their priorities. When that corporate sponsor *also* requires a CLA that confers them with rights that other contributors do not have then then the risk is higher because, by inhibiting contributions, they inhibit the formation of community around the project. They do not kill the community entirely but they do inhibit them. Isn't it therefore entirely reasonable to regard a CLA as a negative indicator of project health?

Thus in the case of a project with a vibrant competitor, such as git, then it's hardly zealotry to factor the CLA into a decision to not "even touch something".
