| 2 | Like the Linux kernel, submitted e2fsprogs patches now require the |
| 3 | following "sign-off" procedure: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the |
| 6 | patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to |
| 7 | pass it on as a open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you |

| 10 | Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 |
| 11 | |
| 12 | By making a contribution to this project, I certify that: |
| 13 | |
| 14 | (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I |
| 15 | have the right to submit it under the open source license |
| 16 | indicated in the file; or |
| 17 | |
| 18 | (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best |
| 19 | of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source |
| 20 | license and I have the right under that license to submit that |
| 21 | work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part |
| 22 | by me, under the same open source license (unless I am |
| 23 | permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated |
| 24 | in the file; or |
| 25 | |
| 26 | (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other |
| 27 | person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified |
| 28 | it. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | (d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution |
| 31 | are public and that a record of the contribution (including all |
| 32 | personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is |
| 33 | maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with |
| 34 | this project or the open source license(s) involved. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | then you just add a line saying |
