The giants are not the ones it matters to, they have their names tattooed over everything. You are standing on the shoulders of a small army of minor contributors, who probably are not recognized elsewhere or known anyway, their names should stay IMHO. It also avoids the question of "appropriate copyright notice" (GPL clause 1) and compliance with various national laws that protect authors rights to be acknowledged for their authorship. I'd be for putting the older contributors at the bottom of the list and the current ones at the top. It'll put me right down the bottom but thats only fair. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
