+Signing off your commits
+========================
+
+Contributions are accepted upstream under the terms set out in
+``debian/copyright`` and in the headers of individual source files.
+Completely new scripts can use any DFSG-compatible license. You must
+certify the contents of the file ``DEVELOPER-CERTIFICATE`` for your
+contribution. To do this, append a ``Signed-off-by`` line to end of
+your commit message. An easy way to add this line is to pass the
+``-s`` option to git-commit(1). Here is an example of a
+``Signed-off-by`` line:
+
+::
