Signoff is used to indicate that you are OKAY with releasing your patch according to git's license. For more details see the Documentation/SubmittingPatches[1]. To summarize you will have to add this in the end : Signed-off-by: Alfred Perlstein <alfred@xxxxxxxxxxx> Though I will still recommend you to go through [1] properly.
