I think it's good to continue with the Signed-off-by tags. One slight concerns I have is what Signed-off-by becomes a little vague with your proposed change. Previously it meant that the contribution aligned with the Tianocore Contribution Agreement. Now, I think it *implicitly* means what the "Developer Certificate of Origin" https://developercertificate.org/ says, but it's not made explicit. I guess it might be fine to proceed with the implicit meaning for Signed-off-by, and EDK II wouldn't be the first project to be in that situation. > If you have=20 > a proposal, please provide an RFC or bring to the monthly > EDK II community meeting. >=20 > This series is focused on the license change, the use of SPDX > identifiers, and removing the Contributed-under tag from > commit messages. One possible advantage for considering this now is that I'm guessing the change is being reviewed by various legal departments, and it might be easier to handle this change at the same time. One possible disadvantage is that it might make this change more difficult to finish. :) -Jordan
