Some ...

If I understood the GPL/LGPL and other similar license FAQ's correctly, I can put my name in a License file and/or add a copyright notice with my name in the source files, and that's pretty much a done deal. But how can one claim to be the author of 'xyz' software if the copyright notice only states the authors First and Last name? What...
