Original author in library description might be confusing #12

Follow up on #11 The author of the original code is Mikal Hart, but mentioning him in this library is confusing to users. How can we still honour his work but also be recognized as the current mainainers/authors. Issue line in library.properties: author=Mikal Hart mikal.n.hart@intel.com

Maintainers are current, but not shown in Arduino IDE.

I'm not sure what we can do here - and what we are allowed here to do (license problem?)

Maybe we can start with a teamname, followed by Mikal https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/Arduino-IDE-1.5:-Library-specification author - name/nickname of the authors and their email addresses (not mandatory) separated by comma ","
