To Angel Velasquez: the nature of the relation is not like an ownership, but more like an authorship. Is it that much to show your respect to the author by a polite question? After all we are people, not mindless machines nor animals.
Hi Nicky, This is opensource world dude, can you see it?, so forget those "autorship" and "license" of those PKGBUILD, plus, in many cases, many of the packages went from one people to another. Btw I don't know why people refers to packages when we are talking about aurballs containing PKGBUILD, this is different from a package. As Ioni said, he kept the Contributor tag, I don't see the point of whining if your work as a maintainer is recognized on that PKGBUILD but I don't see the point of contributing expecting recognition, we are humans, I know, but what can make you happier than the fact that your work evolved and now you have opportunity to evolve with it too (i.e maintaining new PKGBUILD and then applying to be a TU). We eventually show our respect to the author to notice him that we do will move your package, but it's arrogant and too stupid to pretend that a TU or Dev have to `ask you for permission` <--- THIS IS MADNESS, you aren't the owner of that PKGBUILD ! even if you wrote it from scratch! the next thing after from asking for permission will be "please pay me" .. so hell no.
