I'd argue that changing your project-specific .gitconfig to sign-off any
commits is definitely a conscious act. Regardless, proprietary projects would
have just as much of a reason to have their developers sign-off their commits,
unless they solve the issue through a strong CLA or other contract with all
developers contributing. This is not specific to 'open source' or free
software projects.
