This is the part I understand the least. What would be the legal ramifications or even just the risks in attributing copyright to a third party? Or is mentioning a trademark that concerns you? Furthermore, you wouldn't even have to use the "Copyright SUSE GmbH" line. Several other packagers just put in their name, current year and everyone who adds something to it would add his own. Also, I understand the principle of wanting one's work to be recognised, but is it worth the trouble for something that can be trivially reimplemented and it's MIT licensed so anyone could reuse it in the first place?
