[Debian-med-packaging] [ftpmaster at ftp-master.debian.org: bart_0.3.00-1_amd64.changes REJECTED]

[Uecker, Martin]

Most individual authors are covered by the copyright statement for
UC Berkeley. There are a few non-UC Berkeley people who contribute
(e.g. me since I left Berkeley),  this is why we have a group of
 "BART Developers and Contributors"  who also hold Copyrights.

Do we have to list everybody individually? This does not seem
practical in the long run and I am not sure whether this is
required. For example, looking at other Debian packages:

kernel: "Linus Torvalds and others"

vim: "Vim was written by Bram Moolenaar." 
(not even mentioning others)

postgres:  The PostgreSQL Global Development Group


So I am still not sure whether this is the problem. Chris?
