I appreciated this reply from @tieguy (Luis Villa): @jwildeboer @quaid calling someone an author implies they had some say in the final outcome, which they don't here. Call them a source. It might be easier to just make a blanket policy to follow than to ask everyone and possibly end up with different needs that aren't compatible. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41
