I started doing it after attended a talk by Richard Fontana where he suggested it as a way to be explicit about the license of contributions (i.e., not just the license of the project). My memory is now a bit hazy, but I think there was some discussion about how many projects work under the assumption that the license of contributions is equal to the license of the project (sometimes stated as "license in, license out", but that most do not make this explicit. The DCO explicitly states that the contribution itself is granted to the project under the same license that the project uses.
