I think it's probably unfair to discuss that on that workshop only, 
because we cannot count on the mixture of people there being representative.

My opinion on this:

Without looking at the diffs from 2003 in detail, I believe that Henning 
deserves a copyright notice, at least in the fai script itself - because 
I believe that softupdate is a significant improvement and functionality 
addition for FAI. Even if the actual code that came into FAI for 
softupdate is a lot modfied from Henning's original proposal, it's the 
result of the hard work of both of you at the first workshop.
The other larger contributions(in current, released, versions) I can 
think of are the additions for version control systems for the 
configspace - whoever made them, I think it's now you, Thomas.
Other ( I believer therefor smaller and ancient) contributions should 
not be handled anymore.

Finding a general rule how and when people deserve being mentioned in 
the copyright file to avoid complications in the future, is interesting 
and important.

Before discussing it here in depth, we should probably look at how other 
projects deal with such a topic, and, most important, we should agree 
that we do not request Thomas to do all this for all past contributions, 
but only in the future - when adding patches of people anyway, it should 
be easy in the future to remember that their names must be mentioned 
according to the rules.
