There were "core developers" which i understood to mean the primary developers of the Bitcoin software. Then, suddenly, the software's name was changed from QT to "Core." That seemed to me to be different meaning of the word "Core" yet it was often treated as the same. So a developer who is not one of the anointed 5 is a "Core developer" because they work on Bitcoin Core. The anointed 5 would be "Core Core Developers?" In any case if I could get a list of "Core Developers" as referenced in the copyright notice that would also be good since that is a legal notice. Russ
