And just to be clear: while it is nice that git makes it so easy to comply, you are making a very real legal statement when you use that option! Per the bylaws:
"By making a contribution to this project, I certify that: The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I have the right to submit it under the Open MPI open source license <https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/blob/master/LICENSE>; or The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source license and I have the right under that license to submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by me, under the Open MPI open source license <https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/blob/master/LICENSE> (unless I am permitted to submit under a different license); or The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person who certified (1) or (2) and I have not modified it. I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are public and that a record of the contribution (including all personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with this project and the open source license(s) involved." PLEASE - do not just blindly use “-s”. Make sure you fully understand the above, have checked with your employer, and can legally “sign-off” on your contribution Thanks Ralph > On Oct 25, 2016, at 10:50 AM, Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) <jsquy...@cisco.com> > wrote: > > On Oct 25, 2016, at 12:43 PM, r...@open-mpi.org wrote: >> >> signed-off by: <name> <email> > > Just to nit-pick: it's "Signed-off-by" (with a capital S and a -).
