ISC does not require an explicit copyright assignment for patch contributions.
However, with the modern open source movement, it is very easy to contribute
patches and people often don't think about the legal implications. Is the code
you're about to contribute really yours? If you work 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?

BIND 9 adopted [Developer Certificate of Origin](https://developercertificate.org/),
which is a nice half a page document by Linux foundation. By contributing your patch,
you confirm that you follow and agree with the following:

```
Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1

By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:

(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
have the right to submit it under the open source license
indicated in the file; or

(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
in the file; or

(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
it.

(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
this project or the open source license(s) involved.

to ensure the submitter fully understands the DNS logic or internal
BIND 9 architecture implemented by the tool.

#### AI coding assistants

The following subsections apply specifically to AI coding assistants
(LLMs, agentic development tools, chatbots, and similar generative AI
systems) used when contributing to BIND 9. AI tools helping with
BIND 9 development should follow the standard contribution process
described in this document, the [BIND 9 coding style](doc/dev/style.md),
and the [developer information](doc/dev/dev.md) page.

##### Licensing and legal requirements

All AI-assisted contributions must comply with BIND 9's licensing
requirements:

- All code must be compatible with `MPL-2.0`.
- Each source file must carry the appropriate `SPDX-License-Identifier`
(see the [`doc/dev/copyrights`](doc/dev/copyrights) file for the
`reuse` invocation used to add headers).
- The human submitter is responsible for verifying that AI-generated
content does not reproduce code from incompatible sources.

##### Signed-off-by and Developer Certificate of Origin

AI agents MUST NOT add `Signed-off-by` tags. Only humans can legally
certify the Developer Certificate of Origin reproduced above. The
human submitter is responsible for:

- Reviewing all AI-generated code.
- Ensuring compliance with licensing requirements.
- Taking full responsibility for the contribution.

##### Attribution

When AI tools contribute to BIND 9 development, proper attribution
helps track the evolving role of AI in the development process.
Contributions should include an `Assisted-by` tag in the commit
message trailer, using the format:

> Assisted-by: AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION [TOOL1] [TOOL2]

Where:

- `AGENT_NAME` is the name of the AI tool or framework.
- `MODEL_VERSION` is the specific model version used.
- `[TOOL1] [TOOL2]` are optional specialized analysis tools used
(e.g., coccinelle, clang-tidy, AFL, Coverity).

Basic development tools (git, compilers, meson, ninja, editors,
clang-format, black, ruff) should not be listed.

Example:

> Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7 coccinelle clang-tidy

AI agents MUST NOT add `Co-Authored-By` trailers. `Co-Authored-By`
designates a human co-author who shares responsibility for the
contribution; an AI tool is not a co-author and cannot accept that
responsibility. Use the `Assisted-by` trailer described above
instead.
