I'm happy to do it whichever way we decide as a community. Thanks for bringing it up Scott as I thought it was a difference from the norm as well. Hans, thanks for helping push the envelope so that the community can decide what to do.
For now, I'm assuming this means that when we commit things, we could / should be putting our company information there directly. If I've misunderstood this, please let me know - but I'm happy to oblige with the community direction.

Well whatever, I just would have preferred to not to see it every in log which is what could very well happen once the ball gets rolling.

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.

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.-David On Sep 17, 2009, at 6:24 AM, Scott Gray wrote: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.Regards Scott HotWax Media http://www.hotwaxmedia.com On 17/09/2009, at 7:43 PM, [email protected] wrote:Author: hansbak Date: Thu Sep 17 07:43:05 2009 New Revision: 816083 URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=816083&view=rev Log:added a 'setup' component to create a system from seed data only.
