I disagree.  The Mandrake employees deserve to be credited as much as the 
volunteers do.  If we're a community building a distro, then why would it be 
wrong to give credit to members of the community who happen to work for 
Mandrake?  Do they not contribute ?  I'd like to see more of the Mandrake 
employees have their contributions listed.

Maybe a good compromise would be to list them separate?  With an introduction  
over the community contributors that don't work for Mandrake?
