[Pywps-dev] copyright and authorship

[Jorge Samuel Mendes de Jesus]

Hi to all


I have been a bit busy thing week wil have more time to look at it
during the week and weekend.  I did my voting below the same as Jachym. 
Concerning the flake8 it is very likely that a high number of lines will
have to be formated, before flake8 it is better to have accepted all
pull requests and then proceed with the changes.
