### Signing patches ###

Like many open source projects, we need a contributor license agreement
from you before we can merge in your changes.

In summary, by submitting your code, you are granting us a right to use
that code under the terms of this Agreement, including providing it to
others. You are also certifying that you wrote it, and that you are
allowed to license it to us. You are not giving up your copyright in
your work. The license does not change your rights to use your own
contributions for any other purpose.

Contributor License Agreements are important because they define the
chain of ownership of a piece of software. Some companies won't allow
the use of free software without clear agreements around code ownership.
That's why many open source projects collect similar agreements from
contributors. The CLA here is based on the Apache CLA.

To signify your agreement to these terms, add the following line to the
bottom of your commit message. Use your real name and an actual e-mail
address.

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

Alternatively you can use the git command line to automatically add this
line, as follows:

```
$ git commit -sm "Replace rainbows by unicorns"
```
