That's exactly what I tried to say with my bad English. I know that commiter and author(s) should be part of the log comments. And I
do that in any of my commit, with references when they exist as well.
BTW we already had a discussion about sponsoring on http://ofbiz.apache.org/ (Contegix, HWM, Brainfood) and wiki (though it seems
there is nothing anymore there) and maybe Hans is looking for some rewards also...

I don't see a problem with attribution either. On the other hand, I can see a potential for the commit logs being turned into
commercials:
"XYZ feature added by ABC Systems, Inc - the premier Open For Business solution
provider. Contact us at..."
or something like that.

Maybe I'm funny in the head today, but I don't see any problem with this. Attribution to persons is important, and I'd say even
mandatory, and by the pattern established with the individual and company contributor license agreements I have no issue with
attribution to employers of contributors if the individual was paid to create something.
Attribution is one of the motives people and companies have for working on this software and contributing to the project, so I
would NEVER complain because a person took credit for work they did or a company took credit for work they sponsored.

Hi Hans,
I'm worried you're creating a precedence here by attributing a commit to your company within the commit message, OFBiz is
business software and of course a large majority of the commits are funded by various companies.
Personally I don't think this a practice that we would want to see continued.
