| The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the | ||||||
| patch. Your signature certifies that you wrote the patch or otherwise | ||||||
| have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are | ||||||
| pretty simple: If you can certify [DCO](DCO), then you just add a line | ||||||
| to every git commit message: | ||||||
| We consider the act of contributing to the code by submitting a Pull | ||||||
| Request as the "Sign off" or agreement to the certifications and terms | ||||||
| of the [DCO](DCO) and [MIT license](LICENSE). No further action is required. | ||||||
| Additionally you could add a line at the end of your commit message. | ||||||

| Please use your real name; we really dislike pseudonyms or anonymous | ||||||

| commit automatically with `git commit -s`. | ||||||

| We assume in good faith that the information you provide adheres to the [DCO](DCO), and won't request more personal information than provided for contributions. |
Not sure if this change makes sense with the DCO, but also we do allow pseudonyms and we probably aren't assuming they are 100% legally binding (and in many cases as the contributions aren't on a large scale to wonder if they were taken from anywhere else). Also I think with the information above most people who don't mind will do the sign off with legal name as they do now and people who don't want to won't

This line is unrelated to this PR, but as it is small rather than open a second PR for just this I have included here. If there is opposition to including this line in this PR please comment here and I will open a second PR for this line.
