Comment(by jonas.kirilla):

 The BAboutWindow structure (written by A, B .. Z, copyright YYYY-YYYY
 Haiku Inc) can not correctly describe the copyright situation of Mail.
 It's copyright -both- Be Inc and Haiku Inc (and possibly a few individual
 authors) and BAboutWindow only allows for Haiku. Also "written by"
 implies, IMO, people of flesh and blood. Authors. Legal entities can hold
 copyright, but I don't think they can ever be considered authors of the
 work.
