The Linux kernel started to embrace a light weight development contribution agreement process called the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) circa 2004. Attorneys all over the planet have conferred a lot of respect and appreciation for this document and it provides a light weight alternative to cumbersome and controversial Contribution License Agreements (CLAs). Similar to streamlining FOSS licenses we also all stand to gain from streamlining a light weight contribution agreement process for development and in light of this the the Linux Foundation recently has made the DCO a standalone project [0] so that any FOSS project under any FOSS license can take advantage of the same gains. The motivation and intent is documented only currently on my blog post [1]. Lets take advantage of the new shiny DCO and embrace it for contributions. NOTE: Contributions before this commit that still included a Signed-off-by line (presumably out of habit of typing -s with git commands) aren't necessarily covered by this agreement.
