The
@author
tag is used to document the author of Structural Elements as stated in https://docs.phpdoc.org/3.0/guide/references/phpdoc/tags/author.html#authorI think it shouldn't be considered as a copyright/license tag (that info is elsewhere) and since we (as in openmage contributors) do not add the author of every patch in the source code (it would be extremely overkill and
git
has the info anyway in thegit blame
) I think we can safely remove all of those tags.Also, the email written in the removed tags is probably dead since years.
