### Developer Certificate of Origin
OpenRS2 uses version 1.1 of the [Developer Certificate of Origin][dco] (DCO) to
certify that contributors agree to license their code under OpenRS2's license
(see the Copyright section below). To confirm that a contribution meets the
requirements of the DCO, a `Signed-off-by:` line must be added to the Git
commit message by passing `--signoff` to the `git commit` invocation.
The full text of the DCO is reproduced below:
```
