I don't think there is any standard DCO practice, except in the sense that the Linux kernel project introduced the DCO (thus in a sense providing its greatest legitimacy) and AIUI they use the approach you are suggesting.[1] I am certain there are some other projects today that use the DCO without requiring maintainer signoff. (Though that may be because of differences in how such projects are run, I suppose.) But I see nothing wrong with your suggestion, certainly. - RF [1]It occurs to me to ask, and I'm too lazy to check: is the DCO documented by oVirt? If not it should be. The way the kernel does it, it is clear that maintainer signoff is necessary, as I recall. _______________________________________________ Board mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/board
