This is simply wrong: The Linux Kernel does _not_ require a CLA. But it
requires a Certificate of Origin, also known as Signed-off-by. See
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/SubmittingPatches?id=HEAD
for details.

Additionally, there are countries where you can not legally transfer
your copyright to someone else unless you have been hired to do the work
in question. This would mean that Backuppc would either have to hire the
contributors or reject their contributions in order to make sure the CLA
is effective.

With kind regards

Stefan Peter
