Each profiles directory has a LICENSE and README file. If you want to
add any of your contact details in profiles/Oyranos/AUTHORS or
profiles/Oyranos/README that's fine for me, and probably the correct
thing to do if you want to be listed there. The same can be said for
the Argyllcms profiles.

I don't target this just at Fedora, it's already used by Suse and
Novell, and it's intended as a general purpose project. At one point
Ubuntu was going to ship this too; I'm not sure if they actually did
or not.

Usually AUTHORS is used for people that contribute to the project in a
substantial way, and not for individual files taken to form a
collaborative work. That said, different maintainers do things
differently.
