Either way, there is a point at which a piece of work takes on an
identity of it's own - there are plenty of examples of people extending
some project, as long as they respect the license of the project
founders (e.g. X.Org license files all credit the XFree86 contributors,
as it is an extension of their work)
http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/RELNOTES6.html
As it is not my own work, it has no impact on me personally - but I do
think the people who have contributed deserve to be recognised
prominently, and as long as the license terms are 100% compatible, there
is nothing wrong with adding a whole list of extra names where it says
`The Regents of the University of California', s/Regents/Authors/
If nobody objects, we could:
- update the COPYING file to refer to the AUTHORS file
- s/Regents/Authors/
- git log | grep ^Author | sort -u >> AUTHORS (not sure if this is
sufficient to find all patches though)
- find all other copyrights (e.g. in Javascript and mention them in
COPYING), e.g. find . -type f -exec grep -Hi copyright '{}' \;
