Linus in fact does not _require_ it. He just wants a name and email address associated with each patch and who has reviewed it. It's all based on trust. He strongly *prefers* a "Signed-off-by" line and will get cranky if folks submit too many patches without the S-O-B line. Been there, done that. > but do we require such things for the userland stuff? > I see that it says so on openib.org. Just making sure. It's probably overkill for userspace stuff. But I think it's good practice to track who submitted a patch in the SVN logs as well as archiving the email. Tracking this stuff down after the fact is just a PITA and if someone else wants to adopt the code, they may in fact need to have such a list of submitters. grant _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
