I want to put the correct information into the "author" field of the DESCRIPTION file for my bbmle package, which is a modified and extended version of the mle code in the stats4 package.
If I put only myself as author I feel like I'm ignoring the contribution of R-Core (and I think Peter Dalgaard in particular) in writing the original code. If I add "R Development Core Team" to the author list I feel I am suggesting that they might be responsible for my changes. Neither seems entirely appropriate. Suggestions? Ben Bolker PS this is my current DESCRIPTION file: Package: bbmle Title: Maximum likelihood estimation Version: 0.7 Date: 2007/05/16 Author: Ben Bolker Maintainer: Ben Bolker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Depends: R (>= 2.0.0), methods, stats, graphics Description: Methods and functions for fitting maximum likelihood models in R.
