As someone who cannot in good faith sign the CLA, that characterisation
is far from accurate: I would very much like to contribute to the Python
distribution, and so have not decided as you describe.

Rather, I leave the matter of contribution undecided, while advocating
(when opportunity arises) against the CLA.

The decision that the current terms are unacceptable does not entail a
decision not to contribute.

(aside: good sigmonster, have a treat.)
