As I understand it, the “Signed-Off-By:” line in kernel patches
indicates that the contributor is agreeing to the Developer’s
Certificate of Origin <http://lwn.net/Articles/139916/>, which
basically means the submittor is authorized to publish the contribution
under the appropriate software licence.

Does this project have a DCO? These are certainly preferable to
Contributor Licence Agreements <http://lwn.net/Articles/592503/>,
which some projects insist on.
