co-developed is simply about crediting a piece of work, something which 
is intrinsically connected to the philosophy of open source.
I could name a number of papers but one that comes to my mind is a work 
from Pekka Himanen, The Hacker Ethic...[1993].
anyway, so while sign-of is of a practical nature, co-developed is more 
of a social one. at least that is my understanding.
