That's like saying Shakespeare shouldn't be credited for Romeo and Juliet because he's not the first guy to have written a love story and it's impossible to disentangle his ideas from that of Elizabethan culture. It's pure rubbish. When you're an open source volunteer who isn't being paid, credit is the only thing you can hope to gain and to deprive people of that is just cruel.

You won't have to evangelize your work like PT Barnum to get recognition.
