Is the 'et al' legal?
Et al. is completely legal. The only consequence it have it that the
first person knows who touched the file and need to ask what should
happen in any further license changes.
Couldn't it be, how could I say, "dangerous"? I
mean, it's safer to get an exhaustive name of the people who
worked on the file. That's the way it should be done IMO. However, I
understand you're not sure about who wrote that file apart you...
IMHO smart - not safe. But don't forget that it won't safe you from
death of authors and copyright transfer. If it gets GPL'ed, it will safe
you only only because of the license.
