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.
