## A bit of a legal warning
With the modern open source movement, it is very easy to contribute patches and people often don't think
about the legal mechanism behind those. Is the code you're about to contribute really yours? If you're working
for a company and you developed it during your work hours, it's likely to be owned by the company you work
for. Are they OK with you contributing this? Are they OK with the fact that this will be open source and other
users and companies, even possibly a competitor, may use it?
Kea adopted Developer Certificate of Origin, which is a nice half a page document by Linux foundation. You can
read it [here](https://developercertificate.org/). By contributing your patch, you confirm that you follow
and agree with DCO.
