Well the winehq wiki says:

`Your patch must include a Signed-off-by line. Signed-off-by means "I 
think this code is good enough to go into Wine." It is an assertion that 
your work meets all legal and technical requirements of Wine development.`

Note the `*legal* and technical requirements` part (emphasis added).
