From 0454986e781146778d27c34199ffc8dfd234b45b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2021 15:38:09 -0800 Subject: SubmittingPatches: tighten wording on "sign-off" procedure The text says "if you can certify DCO then you add a Signed-off-by trailer". But it does not say anything about people who cannot or do not want to certify. A natural reading may be that if you do not certify, you must not add the trailer, but it shouldn't hurt to be overly explicit.
