No CLA is needed to sell open source software. If fact the right to sell is a mandate by both the open source definition and the free software definition.

Also they said no monetisation. That means none at all. Do they want to get sued by Nintendo and pay millions for the rest of their lives?

Suyu claims to do no monetisation to avoid getting sued but explicitly spells out to sell partially proprietary versions.
