Hi Thorsten,

thank you for looking at the package.

I don't think this is accurate either. Most if of not all upstream maintainers are actually RedHat employees. This may not be obvious from looking at the source code.

Would it be acceptable to state "(C) 2013-2019 github.com/containers/storage maintainers"?

If neither that rather vague specification (which is used in packages such as docker, cf. https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/d/docker.io/copyright-18.09.1dfsg1-5 and Linux, cf. https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/l/linux/copyright-5.0.2-1exp1, as well), nor the authors listed in the AUTHORS file is acceptable, what would you recommend me to do?

Thanks for the hint. In fact, I've already started working on a new upstream release and have clarified the pkg/mflag license.

Cheers,
