From: Emil Velikov Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 18:57:26 +0000 (+0000) Subject: CONTRIBUTING.md: embed the DCO X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bfae6aa7a155466792c9aede99c702d2dae215cf;p=thirdparty%2Fkmod.git CONTRIBUTING.md: embed the DCO In the future, we might want to use the "reuse" tool to check/track licensing information of the repo. For better or worse it will complain that the in-tree DCO.txt is missing SPDX copyright/licensing information. It can be worked around, by adding it into a separate file. Although a much simpler solution is to just inline it.
