Hello Alistair, Graeme,
I see on Github that you are proposing to change, or have changed, the copyright statement in the OpenTemplot files from my original
Copyright (C) 2018 Martin Wynne.
to
Copyright (C) 2018 OpenTemplot project contributors
I'm not too happy about that, and I think you might at least have let me know in advance.
Clearly I don't claim any copyright on the code you or others have contributed or will be contributing, and I welcome it.
But the vast majority of the code is my intellectual property. It represents over 40 years of my work, and I don't think it is unreasonable to want to see it credited to me.
I understood that under the GNU Licence, my original copyright statements must be retained intact, and can only be added to.
I would prefer:
Copyright (C) 2018 Martin Wynne
Copyright (C) 2022 OpenTemplot project contributors
or something similar.
Martin.
