#Contributing to GenevaERS
Each source file must include a license header for the Apache Software License 2.0. Using the SPDX format is the simplest approach. e.g.

We have tried to make it as easy as possible to make contributions. This applies to how we handle the legal aspects of contribution. We use the same approach - the Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 (DCO) - that the Linux® Kernel community uses to manage code contributions.
We simply ask that when submitting a patch for review, the developer must include a sign-off statement in the commit message.
Here is an example Signed-off-by line, which indicates that the submitter accepts the DCO:
Signed-off-by: John Doe [email protected] You can include this automatically when you commit a change to your local git repository using the following command:
git commit -s
