Individual authors recognition

[Tzeng, Nigel H.]

Would the requirement to acknowledge meet the OSD?
 
I'm thinking yes but didn't ponder it deeply.

If the authors are signing over their copyright to the holder, the time to
negotiate is then.  If the authors are doing work-for-hire, the time
to negotiate is when they become employed.  Both of these are private
bargains which don't affect the public, so they aren't relevant to
Open Source.
