<p class="MsoPlainText">Is this really an issue? It seems rather trivial. I personally am strongly in favour of these attributions in the commit log. Reasons<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">are:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- It gives credit to sponsors. That's important! Look at how many cool features were added in 2.6 thanks to sponsorship...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- It gives credit to developers who donate their free/company time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">That's also important. QGIS wouldn't exist if it wasn't for these developers donating their time<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- The commit log is basically for developers or power users/contributors only. It's a fairly harmless place to advertise these sponsorship messages. For a while there was a few "sponsored by"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">messages in code comments - that's a much worse/more intrusive place for these messages.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- It lets us blow off steam when release pressures ramp up :P see 68c49fe09, 34f00d106 and 2427546d8<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">So, +1 for allowing these messages.<o:p></o:p></p>
