I agree. What usually seems to end up happening is that someone writes 95% and gets no credit, someone else does 5% and puts in a printk announcing their contribution loudly every time the system boots. I recall that the old PPP driver used to print "PPP Dynamic channel allocation code copyright 1995 Caldera, Inc." which always annoyed me because it was a completely trivial piece of code that the notice was referring to.
