Roman Shaposhnik commented on GEODE-52:
---------------------------------------
[~jblum] FWIW: I honestly don't see the *reason* for author tags to be there,
but I can see a potential downside. If you feel strongly about this issue feel
free to start a thread on the dev@geode ML. That said, the foundation's
position on these tags is well known:

> Apache generally frowns on @author tags (as they imply ownership of the code
