Description

As an addition to #1, it might be good to adopt the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). My understanding is that legally it helps cover more bases than just a license by itself, regarding external contributions. Node core has this policy (DCO + MIT license), an it might be safe for us to follow suit.

Adopting this would in practice be that we include it in `CONTRIBUTING.md` for every project in the repo, and people agree with it when contributing to the project. No signing like with CLAs and stuff – but with more or less the same (legal) benefits.

@choojs/trainspotters thoughts?
