Hi all,

I've moved all contribution credits to a new CREDITS file, and changed
all copyright notices to claim

Copyright, The contributors to the Linux man-pages project

(I've kept only a few copyright notices, which are not from contributors
of this project, but from projects from which we've imported pages. I
may have made some mistakes while doing this, but they would be
unintentional. If anyone spots a mistake, please let me know and I'll
fix it.)

These changes will be for a few days in my personal branch (to allow
amending any mistakes), and then I'll push to <git.kernel.org>.

BTW, I plan to release a new version in a week or so.

Have a lovely night!
