Thanks for spotting that. It's important to have Signed-off-by to be
able to send patches upstream: Some projects like Linux will refuse
patches that do not have the signed-off-by.

I guess that most/all projects follow Linux's meaning[1].

It is also nice that the documentation on Signed-off-by[1] has been
updated to clarify the cases where you have to modify the code of other
people (I always wondered how to deal with that before).
