Resolution Implemented
Comment Lists of copyright holders exist now in the COPYING files of all core modules.

Description

It would be nice if a list of copyright holders could be included in the COPYING file or elsewhere. Currently it only contains the distribution license, but Debian requires both copyright information and license to be documented[1].

PS: There is a typo in the first paragraph of the COPYING file: "similiar" -> "similar"
