Thanks, Nikolas.  I think we're in agreement.

You're quite right. That's why the script Jeremy linked to has this comment
at the top:

// gmailmarkreadbutton.user.js
//
// Copyright (c) 2005, Jim Lawton
// Released under the GPL license
// http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html


Who's (Jim Lawton) licensing what (gmailmarkreadbutton.user.js) and under
which license (GPL) is pretty clear.

If your point is that a piece of licensing metadata (@license, @terms,
whatever) needs to include, or be accompanied by, attribution ("Bob releases
this script ....", @author), I agree.
