# Why the DCO?
2+
3+
We have tried to make it as easy as possible to make contributions.
4+
This applies to how we handle the legal aspects of contribution.
5+
6+
We simply ask that when submitting a patch for review,
7+
the developer must include a sign-off statement in the commit message.
8+
This is the same approach that the
9+
[Linux® Kernel community](http://elinux.org/Developer_Certificate_Of_Origin)
10+
uses to manage code contributions.
11+
12+
Here is an example Signed-off-by line, which indicates that the submitter accepts the DCO:
13+
14+
```
15+
Signed-off-by: John Doe <john.doe@hisdomain.com>
16+
```
17+
18+
You can include this automatically when you commit a change
19+
to your local git repository using
20+
21+
```bash
22+
$ git commit -s
23+
```
24+
25+
By signing your work, you are confirming that the origin of the content
26+
makes it suitable to add to this project. See
27+
[Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)](https://developercertificate.org/).
