<font face="Courier New" size=2>The GFDL really requires that; furthermore, it specifies _where_ in the</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>document it must be:</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman" size=3>"List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement."</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New">Where title page is defined as:</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New">"The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text."</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New">Thus, the GNU/FDL not only requires us to put the 5 main authors on the page, it requires us to</font><br>
<font face="Courier New">put the last author plus the 5 main authors of the previous version directly under the title of the</font><br>
<font face="Courier New">page. Calling the whole thing a single document, it means we have to do so on the Main Page</font><br>
<font face="Courier New">at least.</font><br>
