CLA notice in README is dishonest or misleading #56

Open
@purpleidea

Description

In the CLA it says:

conveys certain license rights to Microsoft Corporation

(and has a whole copyright grant paragraph)

But the README only says:

declaring that you have the right to, and actually do, grant us the rights to use your contribution

This is completely misleading, and in my opinion dishonest. A submission of code under MIT or GPL license without a CLA would grant you the rights to use the contribution. The CLA grants essentially all rights for Microsoft to do whatever they want.

Anytime you have a CLA you can guarantee the project has their own interests first. Let's just hope those interests are benevolent :/
