I have my very own GitHub project under the terms of General Public License version 3. I am willing to post it in App Store (Google Play, …) later, and I am concerned about the “GPL Trap”, that could prevent doing that.  
By “GPL Trap” I mean the [situation](http://www.cultofmac.com/76340/vlc-app-pulled-from-the-app-store-in-response-to-nokia-employees-gpl-crusade/) with VLC and App Store.

I am not a lawyer by myself, but a software developer. Am I allowed to use [your CLA](http://www.discourse.org/cla) as a base for mine?
