As I already said, I'm not so convinced that a pseudonym "identifies" a
person. In fact, it does (almost) the opposite, I would say.
It builds a 'fake' identity, but hides the real identity of its owner.
IMHO, it's not so clear that a pseudonym would be perfectly
acceptable...

Here, Josselin, I agree with you.
The best definition of source that I know of is the one found in the
GPL.
