This reminded me why i hate posting patches instead of directly
commiting

Fixing author attribution, one asks for help to get the attribution
right, to comply to LGPL and all that and what one gets is a
link to a philosophical text. with a bunch of vague "feel free not
to attribute me" mails :)

Iam certain the result that i pushed contains mistakes
Please dont hesitate to push fixes for them or adjust things
where i missed something. I just wanted to fix this issue ASAP and
not leave some author attribution out while its being discussed for
ages. So yes flame me on gitlog ...
