-## Sign Your Work
-
-Contributions to this project should conform to the [Developer Certificate of
-Origin][dco].  You need to sign-off your git commits before sending the pull
-requests.  The sign-off is a single line of text at the end of the commit
-message.  The signature consists of your official name and email address.  These
-two details should match with the name and email address used in the Git commit.
-All your commits needs to be signed.  Your signature certifies that you wrote
-the patch or otherwise have the right to contribute the material.  The rules are
-pretty simple, if you can certify the below (from
-[developercertificate.org][dco]):
-

-Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
-
-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 open source 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 open source
-    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 open source 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.
-
-(d) 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 open source license(s) involved.
-```
-
-Then you just add a line to every git commit message:
-
-    Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <[email protected]>
-
-Use your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
-
-If you set your `user.name` and `user.email` git configs, you can sign your
-commit automatically with `git commit -s`.
-
-Note: If your git config information is set properly then viewing the `git log`
-information for your commit will look something like this:
-
-```
-Author: Joe Smith <[email protected]>
-Date:   Thu Feb 2 11:41:15 2018 -0800
-
-    Update README
-
-    Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <[email protected]>

-Notice the `Author` and `Signed-off-by` lines match. If they don't
-your PR will be rejected by the automated DCO check.
