I don't write "Creditware" (Score 1)

I haven't written very much code that I've opened to friends / others to distribute, but the bit that I have hasn't even had my name in the source code. I don't write "Creditware" and when I think of people who's projects are driven by their egos rather than a desire to just get a job done I think of software packages that are generally full of flashy features with questionable reliability and are the most aggressively defended when people want to add a feature that doesn't align closely with the author's original intent (which makes sense because the more the author's name is attached to it the more you're affecting his/her identity with your feature).

This said, I'm certainly not against respecting authors identities and their wishes WRT maintaining any branding they choose for their product, but if someone's version of a program is going to pop up a page of text enumerating their life story, possibly obscuring some warning message I really should be reading, I'm going to look very hard for alternatives.
