docs(cla): accept the CLA by opening a pull request

[777genius]

Summary

• Opening a pull request (or pushing commits to one) is acceptance of the CLA. Contributors do not add a signatures-table row.
• Public outbound license stays GPL-3.0-or-later.

Test plan

• Read .github/CLA.md section 6: no table required.
• New PR form shows the agree-by-opening checkbox.

Require each commit author to accept personally

When a maintainer or PR owner pushes a cherry-picked, co-authored, or otherwise third-party commit, only the pusher has performed the acceptance action defined on line 93; the commit author may never have seen this agreement or Submitted anything after its publication. Treating authorship itself as acceptance therefore leaves that author's work without the intended additional license grant. Require an affirmative action from every human author rather than inferring acceptance from commit metadata.

Add an acceptance path for already-open pull requests

For a pull request opened before this version reaches the default branch and receiving no later push, this clause correctly says no acceptance occurred, but the change removes both the signatures table and the maintainer instruction that previously blocked such a merge. The updated template is not retroactively added to existing PRs, so those PRs can now be merged without any documented way to obtain the extra grant; require an explicit acceptance comment, reopen, or post-publication push for outstanding PRs.
