Comment(by mako):

 If it's an official copyright statement, you should list all copyright
 holders who have contributed non-trivial amounts of code (especially
 functionality and features). That should certainly list Red Hat and OLPC
 who have done most of the work through work for hire. If getting that list
 is unreasonable, a short list like the one the Scott mentions would be
 perfectly suitable. Especially if it has a phrase explaining how people
 can get the full list. Something like (See source files for full copyright
 statements). It's not perfect but it's great progress.
