[mdt-ocl.dev] Unwieldy Copyright Notices

[Ed Willink <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

We could easily find ourselves maintaining copyright notices such as

IBM Corporation, Zeligsoft Inc., Borland Software Corp., Obeo, Open 
Canarias, E.D.Willink and others

I think this is untenable and gets more so with each further 
team/employment change.

I feel that Christain made a mistake by adding Zeligsoft.

A plausible policy is that the Copyright is just to the initial 
contributor with everyone else thereafter "and others".
Zeligsoft should not have been added.

Another plausible policy is that a top line credit appears only once 10% 
of the useful line count is contributed.

Since we are now directed to make the Eclipse Modeling Project the 
plug-in provider, I propose that when
a non-trivial edit occurs the copyright is changed to "Eclipse Modeling 
Project and others".  The list of
contributions; e.g. IBM - initial API and implementation provides 
adequate credit.

   Regards
