+====================

+Pymatgen uses a shared copyright model. Each contributor maintains copyright
+over their contributions to pymatgen. But, it is important to note that these

+single person or institution. Instead, it is the collective copyright of the
+entire pymatgen Development Team. If individual contributors want to maintain a
+record of what changes/contributions they have specific copyright on, they
+should indicate their copyright in the commit message of the change, when
+they commit the change to one of the pymatgen repositories.
