## License details

Please use an [SPDX license identifier](http://spdx.org/licenses/) in every source file following the [recommendations](https://spdx.dev/spdx-specification-21-web-version/#h.twlc0ztnng3b) to make it easier for users to understand and review licenses.

The full original [Apache 2.0 license text](http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) is in [LICENSE-apache-2.0.txt](LICENSE-apache-2.0.txt). Each source file should start with your copyright line followed by the SPDX identifier as shown here:

## Developer’s Certificate of Origin

Each commit must have at least one `Signed-off-by:` line from the committer to certify that the contribution is made under the terms of the [Developer Certificate of Origin](./DCO.txt).

If you set your `user.name` and `user.email` as part of your git configuration, you can add a signoff to your commit automatically with `git commit -s`. You have to use your real name (i.e., pseudonyms or anonymous contributions cannot be made). This is because the DCO is a legally binding document.

## Code owners

Technical ownership of most parts of the codebase falls on the code owners
listed in [CODEOWNERS](CODEOWNERS) file. An acknowledgement from these code owners is required before they merge a contribution.
