Glad to get this clarified. In my situation - an employee of Salesforce sent a pull request (his code contribution was not significant IP - the contribution is out in the open in one of the older repos). I knew a little bit of Apache policy in that not all contribs need a iCLA (if they are trivial contribs), but I erred on the safe side and requested an iCLA from the individual. He replied back that Salesforce itself has submited a CCLA so I didn't know if that was adequate to pull in the changes.
