Developers are asked to state that they are allowed to submit their
2+
code using a Linux-kernel style "Signed-off-by:" line.
3+
4+
Quoting linux/Documentation/SubmittingPatches:
5+
6+
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
7+
patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to
8+
pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you
9+
can certify the below:
10+
11+
Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
12+
13+
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
14+
15+
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
16+
have the right to submit it under the open source license
17+
indicated in the file; or
18+
19+
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
20+
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
21+
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
22+
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
23+
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
24+
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
25+
in the file; or
26+
27+
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
28+
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
29+
it.
30+
31+
(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
32+
are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
33+
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
34+
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
35+
this project or the open source license(s) involved.
36+
37+
then you just add a line saying
38+
