    Wait… so the author displayed in “by <author>” is the supposed author of the software, not the one that put it on the store? That’s insane! Also sounds like you’d be open to massive liability since the reputation of the software author will be damaged if somebody publishes malware under their name.

    It should be:

    • Developed by: <author of software>
    • Uploaded by: <entity who uploaded to store>
