Nnnnnnope. All credits except for one name (of someone whose
contributions were limited to a few sentences) were removed from the
front page entirely, completely in violation of the licence. Repeated
requests to the editor to fix it were ignored, so I escalated it to the
appropriate party -- wherein certain people in positions of authority
tried as hard as they could to claim that there was no licence
violation and that following the licence wasn't important. Instead of
getting fixed as soon as I notified anyone of the issue, it was dragged
out for ages for political reasons.
