And it is intended as a legally binding document that you didn't sneak in any copyrighted code from SCO UNIXWARE (etc). So like maybe the authors snuck some in or maybe a maintainer took the patch and sneaked some unixware code in. Obviously if you sign the code, that counts as an Ack and Review as well because maintainers are going to only merge stuff if they've looked it over a bit. But the main thing is that it means you didn't didn't violate any copyrights. regards, dan carpenter
