*> credit should be given to Rietveld for developing and distributing his
software *
No-one is disputing that, even if Rietveld himself never gave credit to
anyone else. In Rietveld (1969) he merely `*thanks Drs B. O. Loopstra and
B. van Laar for their suggestions and helpful criticism*'. Yet according to
vL&S <http://journals.iucr.org/a/issues/2018/02/00/ib5058/> he had been
hired as a postdoc to contribute to a problem they had been working on..
His home page <http://home.wxs.nl/~rietv025/> is an extreme example, where
others are only credited for their hommage to him.
Gauss and Legendre's work shows that science is not performed by
individuals in a vacuum.
*Now we call it "Least Squares Refinement" and not "Gauss Refinement".*
