It actually doesn't help. EU privacy law rather sensibly is "opt-in". Putting the statement in the DCO, which is a document and submission agreement works because you have to agree to it, putting it in a document is probably not "opt-in". You have to -actively- agree to the DCO to submit a change, and that is what makes it work (whether you put something in submitting patches or not that is more explanatory). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
