Well, I'm not really sure how to vote on this. I've pasted an email
from Larry Rosen to the Apache Legal list that seems to say that the
Cocoon source files should not have the Apache copyright in them, but
instead have the copyright of the committers who made the
contibution. Obviously, this is in direct contrast to what we are
doing and frankly, I think its nuts.
While this doesn't have a lot to do with the @author tags, per se, it
does seem to indicate that the files should have a "record of ownership".
So before I add my +1 I'd at least like to know if our policy of
attributing the copyrights to Apache and not the authors needs to be
changed (at which point the @author tags could go away anyway).
