For every patch file that is uploaded to JIRA issue, JIRA system will 
ask user to "grant code (files)" legally to Apache, user usually has to 
choose that option before uploading patch files to JIRA issue as 
attachment. Under this system, I am not sure if iCLA is required.

For Unreal's case, Apache did have his iCLA already. But for future 
contributors, I am not sure if the JIRA process will be enough. If not, 
will it be too overkill for contributors to send iCLA file first before 
they start any contribution?

Bo
