From 9adbea49e9a764d4d532dc89f8ec4a2db388f94a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Self Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2017 09:28:12 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Implement a DCO-style contributor policy MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This is a way for contributors to attest to their right to contribute and the license of the contribution. This Contributor Policy is based on the Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 from , which is is (C) 2005 Open Source Development Labs, Inc. and was originally licensed under CC BY-SA 2.5 and also said that "if you modify you must use a name or title distinguishable from "Developer's Certificate of Origin" or "DCO" or any confusingly similar name." Being that this is a slightly modified version I changed the name to be a generic "Contributor Policy" and also upgraded the license to the newer CC BY-SA 4.0.
