There are several +reasons for this. First, it violates the "The contribution was created +in whole or in part by me" statement of DCO. Second, the licensing +implications are not yet clear. Thirdly, we expect anyone who submits +code to fully understand what they are submitting. Finally, we put +a lot of time into reviewing patch submissions.
