Why an author does anything is not something even the greatest psychologist of all time would know with 100% certainty, unless he/she reads minds, which nobody can do. All we know is what the author does. > So, "by making a contribution", the author who added a Signed-off-by > trailer is certifying that (a|b|c)&d is true. Yes, (d) is a requirement. But agreeing (d) applies for patch A is not agreeing that it applies for patch B. Apples are not oranges. > Perhaps we can tighten the language to say "If (and only if) you can > certify" and that may reduce confusion? Clause (d) still must apply. -- Felipe Contreras
