[Pywps-dev] copyright and authorship

[Jorge Samuel Mendes de Jesus]

Hi to all

Just a fast reply to luis:

___author___ points to a string there fore you can add more than one
author, or just use __authors__  I havent done the table yet, this
weekend was to complicated to me. I wil look at it as soon as possible
