<div dir="ltr"><div>OK. My only reason for arguing against it was that it felt strange having my name there and not Mike's, since he wrote a lot of code too. But then I looked at gitstats and realised I have over 10x as many svn commits as Mike and almost 10x more lines added. It turns out Jay contributed almost as much code as Mike! I'm still impressed by how many headline features Mike implemented; he didn't waste time on cleanup for the sake of it, something I still need to learn :)<br></div><div><br></div><div>Isn't author information normally in AUTHORS.txt?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Since LICENSE.txt / LICENSE-binary.txt are what are actually distributed with binaries we really ought to have the copyright info in there!</div><div>On that note, I wanted to expand those files to list the copyright info of all the source code we incorporate (whether credit in documentation is technically required or not) as distributing that code under the GPL does not avoid attribution requirements. I'm imagining that the top of the file would state that the whole program is GPL'd, summarise copyrights and licenses of all components, and the rest of the file would be a concatenation of the full GPL, LGPL, Apache, etc licenses and attributions. This is a bit unconventional, admittedly.<br></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, 20 Dec 2020 at 14:52, James Paige <<a href="mailto:Bob@hamsterrepublic.com">Bob@hamsterrepublic.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>How about:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family:sans-serif">Copyright 1997-2020 James Paige, Ralph Versteegen and the OHRRPGCE Developers</span><br><br>Having "Hamster Republic Productions" in there is was just meaningless fluff, because I haven't kept the fictitious business name registration for it current.
