What about authors' credits? (Score 2)

We've just released the first free software survey of 25 million lines of code charting authors' contributions and project participation. naturally, the FSF is on top, with 11% of all code credited. that's not what we wanted to see, though - we wanted to see who wrote the code, not who owned it through copyright. whether the FSF should ask you to assign them the copyright or not, i think the FSF should most certainly list author credits. one thing people can "earn" from free software is reputation, and not listing authors' names takes that away.
