[slf4j-dev] SLF4J Implementation for Simple Log

[Ceki Gülcü]

Graham,

One minor problem I've notices is with the javadocs [1]. They mention 
Graham Lea as the copyright owner which is not accurate. The SLF4J license 
is very liberal but it still protects the original copyright notice.

I realize that you are acting in good faith. AFAIK, the javadoc tool target 
does not allow you to set different headers/footers for different groups. 
It would be nice if the the copyright notice in the javadocs mentioned the 
correct copyright for the SLF4J classes. It's a minor detail since you 
already include the SLF4J copyright elsewhere.
