Folks, Now the number of contributors to Xen is expanding beyond the core team in the University and a couple of close partners, we need to formalise the patch submission process. A while back, Linux adopted the OSDL "Developer's Certificate of Origin", whereby anyone that submits a patch has to add a "Signed-off-by: myname@xxxxxxxxx" to the comments submitted with the patch. By adding the Signed-off-by: line, the developer certifies: By making a contribution to this project, I certify that: (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I have the right to submit it under the open source license indicated in the file; or (b) 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 same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file; or (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified it. We believe it will be good practice for Xen to adopt the same DCO sign-off procedure. From now on, Xen maintainers will be insisting that all submitted patches have a signed-off-by: line from the submitter, then will add their own Signed-off-by signature, as per clause (c). I'd be very grateful if you could all help make our task as maintainers easier by remembering to include the DCO so we don't have to ask you to resubmit patches. More information about the DCO can be found at this URL: http://www.osdl.org/newsroom/press_releases/2004/2004_05_24_dco.html Thanks for your cooperation!
