signed-off-by and DCO

[Will Norris]

Is anyone familiar with any projects that have used "signed-off-by" in a commit message to mean agreement with something other than the developer certificate of origin?

`git help commit` is pretty clear that it *can* be used to mean other things:

    -s, --signoff
        Add Signed-off-by line by the committer at the end of the commit log message. The meaning of a signoff depends on the project, but it typically certifies that committer has the rights to submit this work under the same license and agrees to a Developer Certificate of Origin (see http://developercertificate.org/ for more information).

But I can't think of any examples off the top of my head of projects actually having done so (either successfully or unsuccessfully).

There are a number of project under the Apache v2 license that don’t require a CLA, just a DCO.

I always assumed that that must imply that they include more than just the ’standard’ DCO with that Signed-off-by: line. But some searching didn’t find anything that seemed to make that explicit.
