## Sign Offs/Custody of Contributions
The Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) is a way for contributors to certify that they wrote or otherwise have the
right to license their code contributions to the project. The full text of the DCO can be found
[here](https://developercertificate.org/) or in `DCO.txt`. Contributors must sign-off that they adhere to these
requirements by adding a `Signed-off-by` line to their commit message, and/or, for frequent contributors, by signing off
on their entry in `MAINTAINERS.md`.
