"Linus Torvalds and Linux 2.6 kernel maintainer Andrew Morton have announced a new way of tracking contributions to Linux: the Developer's Certificate of Origin," reports eWeek.
In a statement, Torvalds said: "This process improvement makes Linux even stronger. We've always had transparency, peer review, pride and personal responsibility behind our open source development method. With the DCO, we're trying to document the process. We want to make it simpler to link submitted code to its contributors. It's like signing your own work."
