This is a bogus theory of law here. No Berne signatory nation may require any notice or registration to enjoy the protection of copyright. That someone's name wasn't listed in the right places may _explain_ their non-inclusion in a copyright change discussion, but it doesn't make it justifiable or lawful. Perhaps his contributions were too insignificant to earn copyright coverage, or at least too insignificant to make blockading a licensing change by the other developers an ethical move, or perhaps they were all removed as part of the process or through code churn, but none of that has much to do with where an author's name is listed. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
