Hi Vincent.
Ish reported that some teams literally strip the author's name from a
template and replaced it with their own.
I think that it's very important to prevent this from happening. As I said,
It's not a problem if they take someone's else work and modify it. But it's
clearly a clear violation of copyright, if they strip the author's name.
There was a similar case where it attracted significant criticism for
Mauritius:

I think that it's important that the jury checks for violations such as
those above as it is an embarassment for Mauritius, and the Local IT
community.
