Mike,
what is the nature of the collaboration? If the collaboration includes a
formal agreement that one party (i.e. one company) owns the copyright to
the work, then that party is able to contribute. Otherwise, we will
likely need all copyright owners to sign. I will consult with the
project management committee to confirm.
In any case, all authors must be identified in code comments to ensure
that the moral right to attribution is respected.
Kind regards,
Ben.
