Start using unodified Developer Certificate of Origin v1.1

Browse Source 
With the license terms having been cleaned up in the hostap.git files,
there is no continued need for the additional (e) item to explicitly
acknowledge BSD license option for contributions. Since DCO v1.1 is now
available from http://developercertificate.org/ it looks reasonable to
move to the unmodified version of DCO and to the commonly used
Signed-off-by tag for this project.

To help with this, following procedure is used to allow acceptance and
recording of the terms.
These terms are similar to the process used in Linux kernel development.
The items (a) through (d) are identical to the Developer's Certificate
of Origin 1.1. To enable cleaner licensing option to be provided in the
future, an additional item (e) is included.
All contributions are expected to be licensed under the modified BSD
license (see below). Acknowledgment of the terms is tracked through
inclusion of Signed-off-by tag in the contributions at the end of the
commit log message. This tag indicates that the contributor agrees with
the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) version 1.1 terms (see below;
also available from http://developercertificate.org/).

Until February 13, 2014, the project used an extended version of the DCO

additional item (e):
The additional item (e) is used to collect explicit approval to license
the contribution with only the modified BSD license (see below), i.e.,
without the GPL v2 option. This was done to allow simpler licensing
terms to be used in the future. It should be noted that the modified BSD
license is compatible with GNU GPL and as such, this possible move to
simpler licensing option does not prevent use of this software in
GPL projects.
(e) The contribution can be licensed under the modified BSD license

This was used during the period when some of the files included the old
license terms. Acceptance of this extended DCO version was indicated
with a Signed-hostap tag in the commit message. This additional item (e)
