I fail to see what more needs to be clarified on top of what we
already have; please re-read "(5) Sign your work" section, paying
with special attention to:

 - "YOU WROTE IT or otherwise have the right to pass it on".

 - "the contribution was created in whole or in part BY ME and I
   HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUBMIT".

But perhaps you meant something else by "*my own initial commit*"???
