Not as I read it.  It says:

        then you just add a line saying
        
                Signed-off-by: Random J Developer
        <random@...eloper.example.org>
        
        using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous
        contributions.)
        
Which doesn't preclude company signoffs (as long as it's a real
company).  Of course, most companies worry about the legal liability
from the GPL and the DCO, which is why we get so few of them.
