This is just a strawman idea to draw some comments. What am I missing? The one thing is my intuition that the lawyers for several of the corporate members of the OpenStack Foundation, and lawyers for the Foundation itself, would object to adoption of the Linux kernel-style DCO. (Though perhaps mainly due to lack of familiarity with the approach and some belief that the CLA system currently in use is a best practice of some sort.) I myself think an unadulterated DCO method is a fine idea, have said so before and feel confident in saying that that would be Red Hat's official view.
As to the issue of handling copyright notices, that sounds fine to me too and that part would address Rich Bowen's concerns. +1
