Description:
The Workbench source includes an AUTHORS file that starts as follows:

"MySQL Workbench has been developed by a small team of great developers 
at MySQL AB (and later Sun Microsystems Inc.), starting from a personal 
project of project/team lead Mike Zinner (DBDesigner 4)."

Please update to include Oracle, eg.:
"MySQL Workbench has been developed by a small team of great developers 
in the MySQL group at Oracle Corporation, starting from a personal project 
of project/team lead Mike Zinner (DBDesigner 4)."

How to repeat:
Update AUTHORS file for all releases of MySQL Workbench, both
Standard and Community Editions, effective with 5.1.20 and
5.2.31.

@Trudy .. it is incorrect what you propose!

this:
..  developers at MySQL AB (later Sun Microsystems Inc.) and now Oracle ..

.. would be correct! WB concepts were NOT developed in the 'Oracle era of MySQL development' (and what will be the next BTW?).  But I agree that the result would probably have been better it it was. 'Sun era' was a disaster!
