Projects using the DCO should normally have a copy of the DCO in the
source repository in some place where a contributor can reasonably be
expected to see it. A couple of examples:
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/SubmittingPatches.rst (linked

https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/DCO_1_1.md
