This Project welcomes contributions, suggestions, and feedback. All contributions, suggestions, and feedback submitted are accepted under the Project's license via Developer’s Certificate of Origin 1.1 (DCO). Additionally, contributors represent that if they do not own copyright in the code, that they have the authority to submit each contribution under the Project's license. All public feedback, suggestions, or contributions are not confidential.
Each Project repository will include information about the DCO in their CONTRIBUTING file, and will use automation, such as GitHub Actions, to ensure each contribution follows this.
Text to include in CONTRIBUTING files:
The DCO is a declaration attached to every contribution made by every developer. In the commit message of the contribution, the developer simply adds a Signed-off-by statement and thereby agrees to the DCO, which you can find below or at DeveloperCertificate.org.
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.
We require that every contribution to this repository is signed with a Developer Certificate of Origin. Additionally, please use your real name. We do not accept anonymous contributors nor those utilizing pseudonyms.
