+## The Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The Syncthing project requires the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)
|
|
|
+sign-off on pull requests (PRs). This means that all commit messages must
|
|
|
+contain a signature line to indicate that the developer accepts the DCO.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The DCO is a lightweight way for contributors to certify that they wrote (or
|
|
|
+otherwise have the right to submit) the code and changes they are
|
|
|
+contributing to the project. Here is the full [text of the
|
|
|
+DCO](https://developercertificate.org):
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. 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
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+2. 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
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+3. The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person who
|
|
|
+ certified (1), (2) or (3) and I have not modified it.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+4. 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.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Contributors indicate that they adhere to these requirements by adding
|
|
|
+a `Signed-off-by` line to their commit messages. For example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This is my commit message
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <[email protected]>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The name and email address in this line must match those of the committing
|
|
|
+author.
