What I meant to say was that it would be nice to have things like our Novartis sponsorship in the README of projects which are particular to the repository structure and client which we (well, you :-), developed, and make them available, but I'd not be certain I'd like to have such acknowledgement entered into the git development proper (I'd prefer to think that the changes would have been made anyway, we just accelerated them -- however for the direct project code (non-general), that clearly should have in a README (not license) sponsored by Novartis, as it's technically pre-competitive (we'd love to hire people who in addition to quant and science skills, know how to use it for statistical/mathematical modeling, and/or improve it). (BTW, if anyone is interested in the possibility of a similar summer project in Basel, working for a certain large multinational Pharma company, doing open source work, possibly around git or other "information management projects", please let me know -- we can take on undergrads and grad students who know programming, mathematics, and statistics, or just one of those disciplines -- it's not too bad, just ask Petr).
