It's not about legal reasons. For legal reasons the copyright
headers in the source files are enough.

It's about respect.

The people who have been removed as authors have written substential
parts of Amarok. Nearly every day I can find the time to write code I
use stuff by Nhn, Jeff, Eean and Leo.

Moving inactive people to a "atm inactive authors" category is fine,
but simply moving them to the contributors list is not.

Due to legal reasons (which are plain stupid, but that's another topic)
G+ hangout is de facto illegal in Germany and therefore not available.
