Here's my reasoning:
- CCLAs are mostly signed by corporate lawyers, like me.
- Corporate lawyers, like me, like to print out and examine documents
before signing them. Or at least ook at them in a window that can be
properly resized/zoomed (unlike the awful, user-unfriendly Adobe widget.)
- Careful corporate lawyers *particularly* like to print out and examine
documents that are derived from other documents (ahem, Apache CLA), so that
they can compare them carefully to the original/source document.

Additionally, I *assume* (but can't test!) that the completed document can
be downloaded; if that's not the case, you should fix that, since being
able to retain a copy for your own records is a requirement for a valid
contract in some jurisdictions (arguably including California).
