The material on my website was somewhere between pseudocode and code. The web site is tutorial in nature, and what Vlasenko did is follow my tutorial and adapt a working chunk of code from the many code snippets in the tutorial. If a signoff from me is required, someone will need to tell me how, since I have no experience with the protocols for Linux code development. I am entirely content with the current form of credit given to me in the code (a comment with a pointer to my web site). Frankly, I remain a bit surprise that my work has significant payoff on a Pentium. I was motivated by the problems of doing fast binary to ASCII decimal conversion on a brain-dead little microcontroller with an 8-bit ALU.

The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to pass it on as a open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify the below: Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 By making a contribution to this project, I certify that: (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I have the right to submit it under the open source license indicated in the file; or (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source license and I have the right under that license to submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by me, under the same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file; or (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified it. (d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are public and that a record of the contribution (including all personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with this project or the open source license(s) involved. then you just add a line saying Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org> using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.) Some people also put extra tags at the end. They'll just be ignored for now, but you can do this to mark internal company procedures or just point out some special detail about the sign-off.

If it is necessary, then, this line should be put wherever such signoffs go: Signed-off-by: Douglas W Jones <jones@cs.uiowa.edu> This implies my bemused permission to freely use anything developed from my tutorials on the web, not my endorsement of what was done with that material. I say bemused because it seems far fetched to claim that I have any ownership interest in this material. The author of a tutorial text clearly owns the tutorial organization and presentation of that text, but to claim ownership of the ideas being taught is strange.

The Signed-off-by stuff is sometimes one of those sad but easy little things we do to avoid anybody getting stuck in court over patent/ copyright later on, and to be able to prove that our GPLed stuff is actually ours to GPL. As it's an implementation of a simple modular base-2 math concept I don't see any reason why you need to sign-off; the only person who needs to do so is Denis Vlasenko (the person who actually wrote the specific copyrighted code). The real practical use is to be able to follow the chain of "I got this from [...]" back to its original source, which is especially valuable in the presence of scum like SCO (they claimed some of Linus' code as their own). So I wouldn't worry about it, the only person who really needs to do anything is Denis. Cheers, Kyle Moffett ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Consider this added to both patches: Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com> Yes. "Denys" is how Ukrainian bureaucracy insists on spelling my name. This Signed-off-by thing is official, so here it goes. Informally please use "Denis". -- vda ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
