| 3 | +All authors to the project retain copyright to their work. However, to ensure |
| 4 | +that they are only submitting work that they have rights to, we are requiring |
| 5 | +everyone to acknowledge this by signing their work. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Since this signature indicates your rights to the contribution and |
| 8 | +certifies the statements below, it must contain your real name and |
| 9 | +email address. Various forms of noreply email address must not be used. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Any copyright notices in this repository should specify the authors as "The |
| 12 | +project authors". |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +To sign your work, just add a line like this at the end of your commit message: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +```text |
| 17 | +Signed-off-by: Jess Owens <[email protected]> |
| 18 | +``` |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +This can easily be done with the `--signoff` option to `git commit`. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +By doing this you state that you can certify the following (from [https://developercertificate.org/][1]): |

| 47 | + license and I have the right under that license to submit that |
| 48 | + work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part |
| 49 | + by me, under the same open source license (unless I am |
| 50 | + permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated |
