It is not a problem for me to keep silence for another couple of months. But this weekend there will be an open source conference in Belarus [1], and I will need to explain what this specific CLA is about in developer-friendly language translated to Russian.
The Python contributor agreement allows the PSF to safely redistribute your contributions under its own license, the PSF license.
The Python contributor agreement is *not* a copyright assignment: you legally remain the author of the code you contributed (i.e. you can also publish it elsewhere under any license you want).
