That works fine when it is signed off by employers using their company e-mail, but that is not feasible in my case - what should be in the Signed-off-line? Name of the company? What about the e-mail? Some generic e-mail of the legal department? That doesn't really work well with all the machinery developed around s-o-b lines, besides the question does not seem to be by far that simple with such a huge corporation. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis People who take cold baths never have rheumatism, but they have cold baths. -- 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
