All source files (except those in contrib/) in the tree should list
CollabNet as the copyright holder, otherwise we have unnecessary legal
chaos. This isn't some new policy, it's been in effect since day 1 of
the project.
Copyright and acknowledgement are two unrelated things, of course.
Regarding acknowledgement, we usually don't put author names in source
files, to avoid territoriality. Hojin Choi should be credited in the
logs, of course. (Also, I just checked in some other .po files, it
looks like we don't put author names there.)
