I think that is fine, with some typo fixups: s/other's/others/ s/dont/don't/ And of course being American, I would spell it behavior. :) > Optionally with the following amendment: > > "In general, you should refrain from signing off on a patch containing > material that you're not sure can be legally spread under the project's > license." I don't think that makes sense. That is what signing-off is about for the kernel and for git, but I don't think there is any reason another project might not want to use the convenient signoff options to mean something totally unrelated (like we use Acked-by). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
