Upstream removing manpage attribution. WTF?
I am in the akward position that an upstream author has removed the
attribution in the Authors section in a man page that I have contributed.
See the attached diff.
I wrote an email making him aware of this, but have not received any reply.
I think this is especially troublesome for someone aspiring to become a
scientist.
The man page was originally covered by the license in debian/copyright,
which said:
Copyright: of the Debian packaging is assigned to the copyright holder and
condition to the above license.
License: BSD-like
However, I don't think that gives permission to remove the author's name.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Morten
