Paradigms
Currently there is a big ongoing debate about the rights of software developers within companies. The rights of the programmers are that they have the right to be mentioned in the list of authors in the disclaimer of the package. Through their contract however, the authors explicitly transpose their exploitation rights to their employers.
This is the same for editors and authors in news and magazine business. Their name still holds a prominent place in all publications, but it may be very possible that both software companies and publishers will not want to accredit individuals, but let the credit befall the company/business itself.
