Did you ever consider, for example, _not_ assigning yourselves the

copyright in the program's About box?
This is exactly what happened with Rosegarden for "OOM1" -- fork the

project, provide a new theme, new keybindings and some new features,

change all identifying names, remove our copyrights, and put up a

promotional page about it with no reference to Rosegarden.  In that

instance the credits reappeared after I objected, and I was prepared

to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Perhaps the MusE team are more relaxed about attribution than I am, or

perhaps they decided they'd prefer not to be identified with the

forked software at all.  I don't know.
(No, it is not legal to take someone else's GPL software and identify

yourself as the copyright holder.)
