RE: [IPCop-devel] Remove Smoothwall Credits!

I do think it is moral. Perhaps we should include a CREDITS file and list
everyone who has contributed. I was not singling out RM, but ipcop has been
derived from smoothwall so RM does have a point.  I do not think every
individual for each product needs to be listed by a line stating something
like "with gratitude to the {smoothwall, apache, ssh etc} teams" would at
least be considerate.

Regards,

Stephen.

I dont particularly buy the idea that there is any compelling moral (as
opposed to a lawyer avoidance) reason to put the Smoothwall credits in
there. If the idea is to umh, express gratitude to the folks upon whose
shoulders IPcop stands, I think it appropriate to give credit to the folks
that did all the real heavy lifting. As a start:

Linux kernel:
Linus Torvalds
Alan Cox

Apache:
Brian Behlendorf=20
Roy T. Fielding=20
Rob Hartill=20
David Robinson=20
Cliff Skolnick=20
Randy Terbush=20
Robert S. Thau=20
Andrew Wilson=20
Eric Hagberg=20
Frank Peters=20
Nicolas Pioch =20
Brandon Long=20
Beth Frank
Rob Hartill
David Robinson
=20
OpenSSH:
Tatu Yl=F6nen
Bj=F6rn Gr=F6nvall=20
Theo de Raadt=20
Niels Provos=20
Markus Friedl=20
Bob Beck=20
Aaron Campbell=20
Dug Song=20
Damien Miller
Philip Hands


Gee, This could be educational :-) =20


Hey, I'll even volunteer to hunt down more and type it into a credits page
if Mark etc. would like :-)
