Contributor Agreement

Version 1.1

Contributions to this software are accepted only when they are properly accompanied by a Contributor Agreement. The Contributor Agreement for this software is the Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 (DCO) as provided with and required for accepting contributions to the Linux kernel.

In each contribution proposed to be included in this software, the developer must include a "sign-off" that denotes consent to the terms of the Developer's Certificate of Origin. The sign-off is a line of text in the description that accompanies the change, certifying that you have the right to provide the contribution to be included. For changes provided in source code control (for example, via a Git pull request) the sign-off must be included in the commit message in source code control. For changes provided in email or issue tracking, the sign-off must be included in the email or the issue, and the sign-off will be incorporated into the permanent commit message if the contribution is accepted into the official source code.

If you can certify the below:

    Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1

    By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:

    (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
        have the right to submit it under the open source license
        indicated in the file; or

    (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
        of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
        license and I have the right under that license to submit that
        work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
        by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
        permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
        in the file; or

    (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
        person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
        it.

    (d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
        are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
        personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
        maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
        this project or the open source license(s) involved.

then you just add a line saying

    Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>

using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
