If you fork a repository, submit a pull request that doesn’t change the license, do you still need a CLA?

What if something doesn’t have a license and you fork and change it, doesn’t that violate copyright law?

without a license, forking, changing, and thus creating derived works thereof constitutes (c) infringement. In principle...

That’s my understanding as well. Interesting that no-one seems to perceive this as a problem worthy of fixing.
