In order for a code change to be accepted, you'll also have to accept the
Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO).
It's very lightweight, and you can find
it [here](https://developercertificate.org).
Accepting is accomplished by signing off on your commits, you can do this by
adding a `Signed-off-by` line to your commit message, like here:

```
feat(vm): add support for the `clone` operation

Signed-off-by: Random Developer <random@developer.example.org>
```

Git has a built-in flag to append this line automatically:

```
> git commit -s -m 'feat(vm): add a cool new feature'
```

You can find more details about the DCO checker in
the [DCO app repo](https://github.com/dcoapp/app).
