This is okay but this definitely wrong. And it does indeed sound wrong. And it will always sound wrong. Being involved in a GSoC project is not about contributions. And also considering the scale of our project(some of the code even never got merged). There was a lot of research, design, planning, implementation, review and finally the code got merged. I should at least be able to copyright the file. I mean, Jim was my mentor, I did most of the work but his company copyright is right at the top of the file - Does this sound okay to you ? > Regards, > Jim >
