contributors.md licenses

[pinty]

Hello devs,

Would you please be kind enough to make clear what is the role of the licenses in the contributors.md file?From a legal point of view, what should we understand by the copyrights described into that file? As the whole component is licensed under MIT, does those copyrights influence the global license in any way? Are there any specific snippets from the source code that are under those licenses found in contributirs.md file?

Thank you in advance!

Br,
Alexandru
