I agree. The whole signed-off thing just sounded just-a-little-less-annoying than signing a CLA. And it misses covering non-PR contributions - we (committer) could do the signed-off as we apply the patch, but that defeats the whole intent. So yes, I was glad that Richard saw this the same way.

In the US we have a saying that ignorance is no excuse. Copyrights and licenses are laws just like any others laws - and ignorance of these laws is not a valid excuse for breaking them. signed-off is not required. Richard is in agreement with that. Of course if you feel it is warranted and usefu

Hi Steve, there was also some discussion about requiring the "signed-off-by" field in git commits, which seems somewhat implied by the DCO. Is that an orthogonal discussion, or was that idea abandoned? Thanks, Sanne On 8 August 2017 at 15:28, Steve Ebersole wrote: > https://github.com/hiber

Currently we have had to rely on a less-than-ideal CLA approach as part of the process for accepting a contribution. That CLA app is a hassle for contributors and it is a head-ache for the folks who manage them. So in an effort to stream-line this process, we will be making the following changes
