<p>We believe in correct attribution of contributions to
their contributors. However, we do not want the source code to be littered
with random attributions (this is noisy/distracting and revision control
keeps a perfect history of this anyway). As such, we follow these rules:</p>
<ol>
<li>Developers who originate new files in LLVM should place their name at
the top of the file per the
<a href="CodingStandards.html#scf_commenting">Coding Standards</a>.</li>
<li>There should be only one name at the top of the file and it should be
the person who created the file.</li>
<li>Placing your name in the file does not imply <a
href="#clp">copyright</a>: it is only used to attribute the file to
its original author.</li>
<li>Developers should be aware that after some time has passed, the name at
the top of a file may become meaningless as maintenance/ownership of files
changes. Despite this, once set, the attribution of a file never changes.
Revision control keeps an accurate history of contributions.</li>
<li>Developers should maintain their entry in the
<a href="http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk/CREDITS.TXT">CREDITS.txt</a>
file to summarize their contributions.</li>
<li>Commit comments should contain correct attribution of the person who
submitted the patch if that person is not the committer (i.e. when a
developer with commit privileges commits a patch for someone else).</li>
</ol>
with random attributions "this code written by J Random Guy" (this is noisy
and distracting. In practice, the revision control system keeps a perfect
history of who change what, and the CREDITS.txt file describes higher-level
contributions.</p>
<p>Overall, please do not add contributor names to the source base.</p>
