But back on topic... Even if Ryan really rewritten all of the original mongrel's code by hand, then there is still issue with nginx-based portions. Why there is no attribution to Igor Sysoev?

Yeah, but what is the fun in that?

If it was rewritten, with all new code, why would there need to be attribution?

Ryan said that the current version uses nginx's URL parser, so clearly not everything is new code.

Awesome, that clears that up.
