Hi Christian,
Author tags have been debated many times in the past. There is no consensus on the subject. Given that for many contributors the only reward for their work is recognition, I actually think that removing author tags is tantamount to daylight robbery. The fact that the board has at one time recommended such a policy is regretful.
BTW, I am not a user but a PMC member of the apache logging project. Christian Grobmeier wrote:
Hi, I have a commit ready for getting rid of the author tags and would like to apply. Since a user complained about this and I am unsure about all this legal stuff, I would like to have your "go"s for this commit. (Please don't check the patch applied to the bug, I have re-created it) In my opinion it's enough to give credits in the NOTICE file of the project. We do this at Commons to. I also think that it is enough to credit real names, not names like VXA or something. See also: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4PHP-1 If no other opinions occur, I will go ahead and commit it. Cheers, Christian
