Why would I ever need to sign such s thing? If I contribute to an open source project, isn't it obvious that I agree to publish my code under whichever license the project is published under?

Interesting thanks! But is it possible to change the license of already published GPL or MIT code? Like, I get that if they make any additions to the code they can say that from now on it's all rights reserved. But the versions that have already published under GPL or MIT cannot be unpublished, can they?
