From 110740d3265727b53a165a1e2e5fff3219928d1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Handley Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 17:14:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Drop requirement for CLA in contribution.md It is no longer necessary for contributors to send a CLA to ARM before making contributions. Contributors must instead add a "Signed-off-by:" line to each commit, which certifies that the contribution is made under the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). Update contributing.md to reflect this new policy and add a copy of the DCO to the repository.
