There is nothing wrong with writing your name on the top of something you coded. In fact, not allowing someone to do that is wrong and unfair.

There's not anything wrong with a community standard that prohibits names in the file, and there isn't anything wrong with a community that allows it. It's just two different choices which are both legitimate.

Fascist pigs. Their aim here: polarize the populace into public *volunteers* who benefit vs. those who detract from the commercial exploitation of politically inspired volunteer labor -- and then develop techniques for marginalizing those whose politics does not align with the goal of exploiting unpaid labor. They deserver worse than "no respect".
