Like the Linux kernel, submitted e2fsprogs patches now require the
|
following "sign-off" procedure:
|
|
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
|
patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to
|
pass it on as a open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you
|
can certify the below:
|
|
Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
|
|
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
|
|
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
|
have the right to submit it under the open source license
|
indicated in the file; or
|
|
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
|
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
|
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
|
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
|
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
|
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
|
in the file; or
|
|
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
|
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
|
it.
|
|
(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
|
are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
|
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
|
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
|
this project or the open source license(s) involved.
|
|
then you just add a line saying
