If you're sending a patch which someone else wrote then at a minimum it should have that person's From: at the top of the changelog and it should have your Signed-off-by:. However it is not required that the patch have the author's Signed-off-by:. See Documentation/SubmittingPatches, section 12. If you sent the patch and signed it then _you_ assert that it's OK to include the patch in Linux. That being said, we do prefer that both the author and the sender include their signoffs.
