Your footer was not in your patch, correct.  But it was in this email.

And that's the issue, you can't have that footer on emails you send to a
public list where you are going to be collaborating on a public project,
otherwise no one can use anything you say.

Now if you only think that people will just accept your patches, without
being able to have you participate in development and maintance of those
patches (which is required to be done through email), you are mistaken.

So please fix your email issue, otherwise it is not going to work.

Note, other people at qualcomm have fixed this, so you are not alone.

thanks,
