See the posting I sent earlier to the z3lab list for more information on 
this, but I think it's important to give individuals and companies that 
contribute credit on this project, not the other projects we may be 
affiliated with. This way I think we can prevent a lot of the project 
politics and can stop worrying some project is going to take more credit 
than they actually have.

By the way, I don't think the people are automatically equal. I think 
the people who take responsibility and work on things are more important 
than the people who don't. The project should however be open and 
welcoming to people to join in and start contributing. This project 
should be an open meritocracy, like open source projects should be.

Regards,

Martijn
