Licensing for new files

When introducing a new file into the project, please make sure it has a copyright header making clear under which license it's being released.

Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)

To improve tracking of contributions to this project we will use a process modeled on the modified DCO 1.1 and use a "sign-off" procedure on patches that are being emailed around or contributed in any other way.

The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify the below:

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) The contribution is made free of any other party's intellectual property claims or rights.

(e) 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.

then you just add a line saying

Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <[email protected]>

using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
