The signed-off-by tag typically signifies that you agree to have your
contribution be part of the project and subject to whatever licensing
policies the project may have AND (really important!) that you have the
right to make such an agreement.

It was started by the linux kernel people, and they have a very specific
meaning attached to it. See
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/SubmittingPatches?id=HEAD
part 11.

Other projects could choose a different meaning. I expect most projects
treat it as "kind of like the linux kernel thing" in a somewhat
hand-wavy manner.
