Please add the author Goldwyn Rodrigues.

You add text to the btrfsck manpage that Goldwyn Rodrigues has written
(according to git blame).

Are you sure you want both a copyright statement and GPL wording here?

Another quiestion is about the GPL version itself, you're releasing it
under v3 but the rest of the code is under v2 and there are issues when
these licenses are mixed.

I'd like to avoid any flames about v2 vs v3, so for ease of maintenance
please either drop the section or change it to gplv2. You're free to
insist on v3, then I'm not going to merge the patches.

thanks,
david
