After looking at https://developercertificate.org/, I would propose to rewrite this along these lines: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- By becoming media committer, I certify that: (a) I agree to the Kernel development rules described at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/media/media-committer.rst and to the Linux Kernel development process rules. (b) I agree to the Code of Conduct as documented in: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/code-of-conduct.rst (c) I am aware that the Kernel development rules change over time. By doing a new push to the media-committer tree, I understand that I agree with the rules in effect at the time of the commit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I assume that the people who wrote the Developer's Certificate of Origin knew what they were doing.
