[Petr Široký (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-1052?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13342703#comment-13342703 ] 

Petr Široký commented on DROOLS-1052:
-------------------------------------

I am not a lawyer, so I am not quite sure. I would say, to be safe, we should keep the @author tags in sources which were directly copy&pasted from somewhere else (e.g. we are not the original authors of that code).

> Some of our sources contain author Javadoc tags. As per our README ( https://github.com/droolsjbpm/droolsjbpm-build-bootstrap/blob/master/README.md#faq) we should not using those as they promote code ownership and discourage team work.
> We need to scan through the sources and remove those tags.
> See https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm/commit/ff5fd1ea464fe791933b9ea436cd2c4cffd41b15 for example of removing the tags from one of the jBPM modules.
