Problem

The CONTRIBUTING guide references the Contributor License Agreement and links to cla.pivotal.io, which no longer has DNS records. The Spring team has replaced the CLA with the Developer Certificate of Origin, and the DCO GitHub App is already enforcing this on the repository.

Changes

  • Replaced the "Sign the Contributor License Agreement" section with "Sign off commits with the Developer Certificate of Origin"
  • Removed the defunct cla.pivotal.io link
  • Added references to the DCO and git commit -s documentation

Fixes gh-3884

CONTRIBUTING references CLA, but this appears to have been replaced with DCO
