Note to version 1.1: On June 17, 2005, Linus posted on the Kernel mailing list the Developer’s Certificate of Origin 1.1. The new version adds a subparagraph (d), which clarifies what was already intended and understood - that the contributor signing off understands that the project, the patch and the sign-off itself are all public and will be archived. This addition involved input and suggestions from the community.
