7 Many open source projects list contributor names at the top of each
8 source file that the contributor contributed to. However, we've found
9 that it is difficult to keep this list accurate. Especially when old
10 code is removed or existing code is moved to a different file. So
11 instead we chose to list a generic message at the top of each source
12 file that points here.

14 If concerns are raised as to the copyright holder of a particular
15 piece of code, then that code should be traced through our version
16 control system to see where it came from and who has modified it.
