the choice is yours. but, with a few exceptions, you do not even mention 
that the packages were written by other people, which certainly makes it 
look like you are trying to take credit for other people's work. now, 
since nothing of mine is included, i am not going to press adamantly, but 
i really think you should explicitly give credit on your pages.

i am CC'ing this to the newsgroup in case authors of the packages you 
offer for download have something to say about the following excerpt 
from your download page: (http://www.mygale.org/03/mine/djgpp.htm)
