Erm... why exactly do we need the Changes-licensed-under, if
Documentation/SubmittingPatches contains this bit of information about the
Developer's Certificate of Origin:


(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
    have the right to submit it under the open source license
    indicated in the file; or

(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
    of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
    license and I have the right under that license to submit that
    work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
    by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
    permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
    in the file; or [...]

Note the "under the open source license indicated in the file" and the last
 part.

Shouldn't this part already make it the default to keep the same license
that is mentioned in the file?
I searched through the archive and didn't find an answer to this question.
