Not as I read it. It says:

then you just add a line saying

Signed-off-by: Random J Developer
<random@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
