chore: add Apache-2.0 license and DCO check - #39
Merged
Conversation
The vtafarm repositories are going public under the Apache License 2.0. Until now they carried no license at all, which leaves them visible but all-rights-reserved, and nothing verified the Signed-off-by trailer that every commit already carries. - LICENSE: verbatim Apache License 2.0 text. - NOTICE: copyright and attribution to IC3 SOFTWARE. - CONTRIBUTING.md: contributions are licensed under Apache-2.0 per section 5 of the license (no CLA); every commit needs a Developer Certificate of Origin sign-off whose email matches the author. - .github/workflows/dco.yaml: a pull-request check that reads the PR's commits through the API, skips merge commits, and fails on a missing trailer or a sign-off email that matches neither author nor committer. A ruleset on main requires this check. - README.md: License section pointing at the three files. Signed-off-by: Geoff Turk <geoff@ic3.dev>
