Hi,

This is off topic maybe to LDP, but thought somebody here might know
the answer. I am working on docs for a project which is a fork of
another project (gnome-terminal -> multi-gnome-terminal). Poor
Cristiano hates writing docs :) Anyway, I am taking the existing
User's Guide, and making massive changes. Some of the original content
will remain, but not much. I am curious to know how to handle proper
copyright crediting, the proper docbook mark up, and any other related
issues. My best guess on mark up:

    <copyright>
      <year>2000</year>
      <holder>Miguel de Icaza</holder>
      <holder>Michael Zucchi</holder>
      <holder>Alexander Kirillov</holder>
    </copyright>
    <copyright>
      <year>2002</year>
      <holder>Hal Burgiss</holder>
    </copyright>

The original doc is under the GFDL (OK to modify as I read it).
