I think the situation here is accidental removal of AUTHORS file only. (With accidental .gitignore config)

I think legally, (also ethically)

Copyright (C) 2007-2013 Guake authors

Should be fine as long as they keep his name in authors file.

Edit: Actually they switched to pbr [1] , so AUTHORS file is generated on build. Not tracked on git. Original author is in AUTHORS file
