No, the original author has not been removed from any files AFAIK.

Arranging for an automatic grant-back of the free and unrestricted use of your own contributions sounds like an ideal solution to me too. If nobody sees a reason why it wouldn't work, I think we should try to make some writeup along those lines.
Regarding the ego boost I would first like to hear that it is an important factor for people before we explicitly encourage it. As it is, such decorations have intentionally been removed from some files when we added the short general Pike info clause you find in most Pike files around the place.
