Credit the people who do the work - with the work that they do. It always
annoys me that designers in another area of the games market (board games)
are
very rarely credited with their work. From a neutral view you might put
the
original designer(s) first with a "RISC OS ****t by ..." at the bottom.
From a
RISC OS perspective you might prefer to label it "****ted by ... from the
original by ...". In either case give thanks to the people who did the
work!
