There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is already covered here:
https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/contribute/index.html#notes
the cherry-picked commits or portions of a commit shall preserve the original sign-off messages and the author identity.
Having the same message repeated in 2 different places using different language is just confusing. I do not see a reason for the additional note.
Make clear that modified commits or new commits that incorporate material from other commits must retain the Signed-off-by: lines from the original author(s), to preserve the chain-of-responsibility that affirms the content meets Zephyr's licensing criteria.

I've added a back-link to the DCO to the new text; otherwise I'm gonna let @carlescufi determine whether to pursue this. The context comment provides evidence that having it only at the DCO was not sufficient. |
