From 150209540536d908fd335cfb8eb5c8425029a276 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "W. Trevor King" Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2014 15:46:30 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] developer-certificate-of-origin: Add v1.1 from the Linux Foundation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Luis R. Rodriguez [1] has been trying to get information about the licensing of the Linux kernel's DCO [2] for a while now [3,4], and it looks like the Linux Foundation just made their view explicit [5,6,7]. This clarifies the copyright and licensing of Linus' two patches: * 857a183 Update DCO ("signoff") rules to 1.1 * 991bd2e Start documenting the sign-off procedure in SubmittingPatches From the whois information, developercertificate.org is pretty recent: $ whois developercertificate.org Domain Name: DEVELOPERCERTIFICATE.ORG Domain ID: D170689185-LROR Creation Date: 2014-01-15T02:54:55Z Updated Date: 2014-01-17T22:11:12Z ... Name Server: NS2.LINUX-FOUNDATION.ORG Name Server: NS1.LINUX-FOUNDATION.ORG Now that this has an upstream source and it's own license (verbatim copies only), I'm putting this file in its own branch.
