Yeah, the google ranking of Hypothesis when you search for python quickcheck is a thing that's been bugging me. There's a blog post from 2013 about it on the front page but none of the various places the project exists appear. I'm not sure what to do about it. I'm planning to do a bunch of shopping around and promoting of the library when the 1.0 release happpens (probably next week), so hopefully that should help.
The CLA is for a mix of weird personal reasons around open source and cynically practical ones. Hypothesis is 100% always going to remain free, but I'm trying to figure out ways that I can make money out of working on it (I've put a ton of work into it, so it would be a shame not to) and that's a lot easier if I retain the copyright. I may decide it's not useful and drop it later, but it's a lot easier to have it now and drop it later than it is to try and retroactively get one if it turns out I need it.
