Credits is a powerful motivation for people who want to change the world. Sometimes we feel very bad when somebody claims the authorship of the code that they didn't write. Public domain allows people to release the code from all restrictions, and people can write one line of code, claim that they wrote it and that's okay. This is how things are helping to move progress forward. Still, we can feel bad and forgotten and that's not good even if we use public domain to reach farther goals other than personal recognition. Ego makes us suffer, but it is also a great source of energy.
After a few hours I doubt that the intro above is a good idea. The idea could better some without explanation. Just skip the copyright bullshit and calculate credits based on source history regardless of what is written. People don't know what they want and the stuff that legal provides is boring. No, it is not about drugs, but it is closer to how chemistry binds us together. We are like to be free and be given credits. Let's do this.
