I'm certainly not a lawyer, and I'm sorry for not reviewing the
content of the patch instead, but is that not a problem from a legal
point of view ?
I remember a video of Greg Kroah-Hartman where he talked about that
(the video was posted by Junio on G+).

Me either thank God.  Are those footers even enforceable?  I mean,
really, if someone mistakenly sends me their corporate financial
numbers am I supposed to be under some legal obligation not to share
it?  I always assumed it was a scare tactic that lawyers like to use.

To address the text of the footer, I'd say the "intended recipient(s)"
are those on the "to" line which includes git@vger.kernel.org and the
implicit use is for inclusion and distribution in the git source code.

Anyway, I doubt I would have any influence on getting the footer
removed.  If Junio would rather me not submit patches with that
footer, then I'd try to find a workaround.
