I agree very much with Steve and Krzysztof. I'd be inclined to think that adding such a line in some patches would only tend towards making those which omit such a line more questionable for use under the BSD licence i.e. would weaken the BSD position rather than strengthening it as intended - though the Signed-off-by should override even that tendency. But it's certainly not an issue for my attention!
