be allowed to relicense your contributions. My personal oath is to maintain inbound=outbound in my open source projects,

I am following the the [Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)](https://developercertificate.org/), also available at

`DCO.txt`. The DCO is a way for contributors to certify that they wrote or otherwise have the right to license their

code contributions to the project. 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

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

it.
