My feeling is that there is a justification for an additional field for
this data; if not in the HPK* then in the application server's database.
My preference would be for the term "publisher".
Not sure about an additional field in the HPKG; it doesn't seem to be
information required for package management. I certainly don't mind an
additional field in the DB.
Anyway, I'm still not entirely should what the publisher would be in
different cases. I guess it is clear for a native application produced
by a commercial company -- it would likely match both copyright holder
and packager. But what about ported software? Would the FSF and the
Apache Foundation be the publishers for respective software (e.g. man or
APR)? What about more complex ports with a significant Haiku specific
part (e.g. WebKit)?
