This project is licensed under an open source license. To ensure license compatibility and traceability, we need to keep track of the origin of all commits and make sure they comply with the license terms.
To achieve this, we follow the same procedure as used by the Linux kernel and many other open source projects: **every commit must be signed off**.

The rules are simple: if you can certify the following statement (from [developercertificate.org](http://developercertificate.org)), then you can sign off your work.
