One item that I came across while doing some rework on the command line processing was the copyright line that is displayed when the compiler runs or the -V option is used. I have two questions for the forum:
1) When do we consider a contributor a contributor?
2) Do we have a list of those who have contributed thus far?

One of the items that I am working on in the command line processor generates version information. I want to put copyright information into the version display. This would require a list of contributors (I think).

In my opinion, contributor is anyone that made any kind of improvement to the code, documentation, testing, or whatever.
BTW, why this question?

FWIW, it might be an idea to make the copyright be "The tinyCOBOL Project" so that way anyone who does contribute will be covered.
