Re: Policy for applying copyright notices

I started the discussion about credits to file's author and it took a little turn, assuming no legal issue, my original request was - I rather not have the author name on the file. The main reason for that is that file changes over time and after a while it has little to do with the original version. There are many contributors to the changes and by having one name on the file we "hide" the contribution of other developers. I don't think the above contradicts the open source spirit, on the contrary. The option i saw on this thread about adding all the names of those who changed the file over time seems cumbersome to me and i think that's why we have git history for. This was discussed in the engine-core project some time ago and we decided to remove all author credits from the file. - If not accepted as a general rule for all oVirt projects I would like to suggest that this can be decided/changed on a project level.
