Code Review
This pull request introduces the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) requirements to the project. It adds a new DCO file containing the license text and updates CONTRIBUTING.md with instructions on how contributors can sign off on their commits. The review feedback suggests improving the relative link to the DCO file in CONTRIBUTING.md by using ./DCO instead of DCO to ensure better compatibility across different Markdown parsers and IDEs.

Adds the DCO 1.1 text (
DCO) and a CONTRIBUTING.md section requiring contributions to be signed off (git commit -s), enforced by the DCO check now installed on the repo. Satisfies the OpenSSF Best Practices silverdcocriterion.This PR's own commit is signed off, so it should pass the DCO check (a working demonstration). Note: DCO sign-off is separate from commit signing;
git commit -s -Sdoes both.
