They provide an explicit assertion that the author is acknowledged they are permitted to make the contribution under the project's license. This is distinct from the Author/Committer info in the commit, because that is added automatically my git with no thought required by the developer. > NACK unless the hooks.allowmissingsob will be set in the main > libvirt.git (I don't really care about other repos). I'm intending it to be set in *every* repository include libvirt.git. There is no real world burden for developers to add a signed-off-by line to the commits they contribute to the project, and it puts us in a stronger legal position going forward. It is already commonplace across countless open source projects, including many that we interact & build on in libvirt.
