Contributor Policy
==================

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 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 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 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; and

(d) In the case of each of (a), (b), or (c), 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
    license indicated in the file.

To indicate you understand and agree to this add a line to your
contribution saying:

    Signed-off-by: Your Name <user@host.root>

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

Git makes it easy to add the Signed-off-by.

First, set up git with your real name and email address using commands
such as these:

    git config --global user.name "Your Name"
    git config --global user.email user@host.root

Once that is done just use -s or --signoff when you commit:

    git commit -s or git commit --signoff

Contributions that do not have a Signed-off-by cannot be accepted.
