Most companies require a CLA. A CLA is not automatically equivalent to handing over copyright to the contribution.

In some cases, the company is asking for a license to use+distribute the code (which IMHO should be implied by open a PR in the first place).

For example, you can read Square’s CLA here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeRVQ35-gq2vdSxD1kd...

GPL skips the issue due to the PR having to be GPL to even be published. AGPL might be an issue though? Would it need to be explicit? Still, GPL.
