As Max pointed out I was not referring to credits in the code. I left the old code (a thing that I consider bad programming) commented= out because I was new of the community and didn't know if there were some standards to follow, because the Oracle integration could cause some falfunction to other parts so to help other people understand what I changed, because it could be of help to others as an example of how to write compatible code; that chunk is anso in xantia, that's a fact. The credits I was talking are the ones on the main credit file of the product (my interpretation is that since a product is composed by many files it's impratical and leave the code unreadable to fill it with nam= es, but there is a credit file for the whole thing) to the developer commun= ity the CVS states who dit what and where if you take part of the code for another product you have to say that part of the code is derived by the= origin (or mention all the people). In envo everything ends up there past and present; also in pn seems to = work the same, but ... Surely an act of forgetfullness. In fact I wrote quite politely asking to do it, and I saw that with the= same politedness phpnut answered me substantially conferming that they = took the code. There is no bad thing in that and I was not offended, I just asked for = the credits. That's the end of the question. Perhaps If the credits were all written right now there should no peopl= e arguing about who was the oldest programmer on the product, it would be= written down. Obviousy there is the question on the 2 community working together ... If instead of spending time in cut & paste of other code people could b= e professional enough to organize a merge ... I was and are skeptical, but I'm open minded, and like to see good surprises ... Looking to the situation it seems that the 2 community (I say both so nobody get's angry) are copying part from the other, add some different= more and then, on the new release, say 'look I'm better than you'. Maybe it's just an impression.

You are right Stefan, nobody can know about all credits, or otherwise i= s also difficult to add all credits to all files, otherwise we have some megs of code only to add all credits. But when someone ask to correct credits and he can prove it ........ i think is right to correct this credits or not ? So Xanthia or Postnuke take eNvolution code without respect credits ? Is not a problem, for example Luca ask to corect it and they must corre= ct it ..... that is all.
