[VOTE] suspend use of @author tags
Given the current ambiguity regarding @author tags I propose that we
suspend their use for contributors without a CLA on file. This is
meant to be a temporary solution until something official is endorsed
by the ASF board.

Well, hmmm - I'm perfectly happy to have my name removed, or sign a CLA.
My quick scan of the files revealed what I suspect is a much longer list
of authors that probably haven't signed a CLA than just those two that
you indicate.
Rewriting the code is a drastic and expensive solution! I would think
that we only go there in case of clear infringement, not just because
there might be. My understanding (courtesy of Groklaw), is that with
normal copyright infringement there must be the opportunity to remedy
the infringement before any damages kick in. That point, I think, it
would be the time to consider replacing code. At least, that is what I
understand of US law (of course, IANAL).

Additionally, we should seek to contact those currently in @author tags
that do not have a CLA on file, and ask permission that they be removed
or to encourage them to sign a CLA. I'll do this.
BTW: If we can't get either of these to things from a contributor (Sean
and Sun-Gu at this point) then we will probablly should rewrite any code
that can be attributed to them.

The vote has passed. Author tags will no longer be added for people
who do not have a CLA on file. This issue will be revisited when an
official decision has been made by the ASF. The vote details are
below:
5 +1 votes -
Michael Becke - mbecke@apache.org
Oleg Kalnichevski - olegk@apache.org
