"Created by" is not documented anywhere after it was dropped[1] from Porter's Handbook years ago. According to the original discussion[2] there was no strong agreement to keep the line even then. And when portmgr@ made the decision[3] it didn't consult a lawyer in order to establish how much consent is required. How such a policy is different from a cargo cult?
