Maybe I'm missing some context, but I don't see what the problem is with allowing a contributor to have their copyright notice placed in the NOTICE file. I'm familiar with the history behind the BSD advertising clause issue, but that was not about copyright notices. What am I missing?
Why should this contribution be different than every other new feature we've added over the past N years the project has been around? For all of those a note in the CHANGES and commit log that this was contributed by J. Random Hacker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was sufficient. I'm just not thrilled with the idea of having to make a note in the NOTICE file for every single company that sends us a patch that implements new functionality. It's not like this is external code we sought out and added to the tree, this was developed with feedback from other APR developers on our mailing lists. -garrett
