Someone should try challenging the CLA when the pretext of it changes (their contributions being relicensed to non-FOSS). Most CLAs are very dry but HashiCorp may be in trouble with all the proclamations in theirs.
I would agree except it seems that the Legal Terms and Agreement doesn't even mention any of that (even if the marketing part of that page does).

This pretty much covers anything they'd need.
(I'm not a lawyer.)
