How can they sell an exception to the GPL license if they're accepting Pull Requests on Github. I haven't seen any reference to a CLA.

I have signed a Copyright Sharing Agreement with them...

They only accept copyrightable contributions from people with that agreement (as far as I know)..

As typo fixes, small bug fixes and one-liners are not considered copyrightable they accept those without it..

Make sure you read their license, it could be slightly modified GPL. Some licenses (such as Apache 2) has clause which makes any contribution Apache licensed.
