Nnnnnnope. All credits except for one name (of someone whose |
| 14 |
contributions were limited to a few sentences) were removed from the |
| 15 |
front page entirely, completely in violation of the licence. Repeated |
| 16 |
requests to the editor to fix it were ignored, so I escalated it to the |
| 17 |
appropriate party -- wherein certain people in positions of authority |
| 18 |
tried as hard as they could to claim that there was no licence |
| 19 |
violation and that following the licence wasn't important. Instead of |
| 20 |
getting fixed as soon as I notified anyone of the issue, it was dragged |
| 21 |
out for ages for political reasons. |
