Just in case you didn't know: If you used portions of Johns code, you agreed to the terms of his license. As such, you're required to include Johns name in the copyright notice, as the license specifies that thte copyright notice should be reproduced in full. You can add your own name above that, but you still have to keep the complete original copyright notice with Johns name in there [1].
Not doing that is not nice, and in the worst case could get you in legal trouble.
