to submit code into OpenStack one of our Engineers had accidently deleted the original copyright notice thereby failing to give credit to the original authors of the code namely “Objectif Libre”. It was inadvertent and there was no intent to take away the
credit from the original work.. We agree this was an oversight on our part and we take this seriously. </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; WHITE-SPACE: pre-wrap; LINE-HEIGHT: 20px">We thank the community for detecting this and bringing
it to our notice. </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; WHITE-SPACE: pre-wrap; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.38; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">Subsequently this has been corrected and submitted to the community for review.
