Authors do, plus you never know who else does, I seek this information a lot of times, since it can give a lot of information about what to expect about a contribution. [ How would you think Linus Torvalds could decide about a submitted kernel patch without knowing who submitted it? ] Copyright is there, yes, but after all these years we all know that many files have changed completely since their original author initially submitted it into the source tree. F.e. I do lots of, lots of code cleanups and fixing, none of these makes me a Copyright holder, yet it's tons of (I hope valuable) work and contributes to the final quality / state of the software. Do you think this work is nothing and should be hidden? Or even more: Do you think it's fair for someone else to attribute these changes as his own? > Furthermore, AFAIR there is no rule which governs PPL for putting > credits. There is: Respect, correctness and attention to other developers and their work. Brgds, Viktor
