Was browsing the Guake issue list for another reason and came across this. I'm genuinely interested to hear what people think of this situation..

It's pretty clearcut: The GPL requires to keep copyright notices and author's names. They should re-add him and removing names from free software code without the consent of the original author is absolutely not okay.

We may argue that with licenses that allow this (CC0, Unlicense) it would be okay, but even there I'd say credit where credit is due.
