Credit for "Early American Newspapers"?

[Joel S. Berson]

Bill, why is the American Antiquarian Society omitted from credits
for "Early American Newspapers"?  I am under the impression that it
developed the database in cooperation with Newsbank, and perhaps
Readex's only participation was that it owned the microfilms.  Also,
I think (but can't confirm at the moment, since I don't have access
from home) that EAN itself says copyright by Newsbank and AAS.
