Given the weakness people have in understanding the legal part of signoffs it seems very unwise to just trust that they've actually got everything clearly lined up and IME when they're missing they've often just been removed or sometimes there's a very good reason why the original author didn't provide a signoff. It seems safer for everyone to query what's going on and it's been fairly unusual that it's anything other than a mistake. --E187YRO8KGM40JwS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJX5AiJAAoJECTWi3JdVIfQA14H/2JPeXQcGVDpHQryOzC7mvLh b1QX6hJxtVYwya5D9y/Dtxpp5Nb21rRzcJ7SZcQydwirMb5OSJjGU77RIbu5gDDr Dy59WjNOA+TuSu1tg33YNGJyHs0n2myca9A5BYGSU364kHeq/UyjYnj6i4dzgfrl hA3S17jBKwnzq+5gUupUXmV/fTts8g2sKthDx2nICTsHP1b7RZQPY6HzVrhWHv2O qoG1hDiPk3MAwiBPfFUiKRhpvHW/Q/tj8qaLEg4dr9ilKNOEWfdN0hqjqzVLypnc 17y1tgLTKtJHVodHiCsOgqgoCMyK5WNImcFISRj40IqIk73UkWx0BvOJMx8ksAc= =M/ae -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --E187YRO8KGM40JwS--
