## Exceptions with third party libraries
|
||
|
|
The third party libraries have their own way of addressing authorship, and the authorship of commits importing/ updating
|
||
|
|
a third party library reflects who did the importing instead of who wrote the code within the commit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Authors of third party libraries are not explicitly mentioned, and usually are possible to obtain from the files belonging to the third party libraries.
