The Linux kernel started to embrace a light weight development contribution agreement process called the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) circa 2004. Attorneys all over the planet have conferred a lot of respect and appreciation for this document and it provides a light weight alternative to cumbersome and controversial Contribution License Agreements (CLAs). Similar to streamlining FOSS licenses we also all stand to gain from streamlining a light weight contribution agreement process for development and in light of this the the Linux Foundation recently has made the DCO a standalone project [0] so that any FOSS project under any FOSS license can take advantage of the same gains. The motivation and intent is documented on my blog post [1] and later covered extensively on lwn [2] after James Bottomley's talk, and Bradley Kuhn went on extensively about it as well [3]. Lets take advantage of the new shiny DCO and embrace it for contributions.
