The world is coming to an end. I agree with Alex here. I
maintain non-free/games/angband; and there is a morass of authors
through whose hands angband has passed, with almost everyone putting
a different set of copyright statements on their work, beofre passing
the torch.
Tracking down all the people involved in that is way too much
work for me; I would just continue to maintain the package for
myself, if the "track down and implore author" policy were made
madatory.
A free software fanatic would probably say that is a good
thing. Mayhap a more enrgetic maintianer for angband would arrive on
the scene.
