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

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.
