Hi @akshmakov it looks like I did use your dockerfile as a starting point for this container. I should have forked to ensure the commit history showed your contributions but didn't for some reason. The license reflects the date this repo started and now which I must have thought was the correct way to do it at the time.

I am in the process of creating a docker container from scratch currently so this repo will be retired very soon. I am happy to add your name on to the license until this repo is deleted in a few weeks.

I clearly made a rookie mistake and I apologise. Thanks for bringing this up.

Hey @dgibbs64 I appreciate your open and honest response. It happens and mostly I'm bummed I didn't get a chance to contribute while the project was alive, but of course I wasn't paying too close attention either. Thanks for making something with the work and integrating it into your software, that's why we do open source and permissive licenses after all. At the time I recall that working around the tmux binding would need architectural change, so it seems you have the demand to make it happen.

What you describe works for me, another option might be to take all the contributors and list them in a contributors file . I'm fine with the final copyright being included in the final commit or an intermediate commit.
