Authorship is listed on the front page:
Kevin Fall and Kannan Varadhan and the VINT project.

It's not clear that date means a lot here.  You could use the release
date of your release, I suppose, or of the first release.


By the way, there are two technical reports now available describing
ns and nam:

	Improving Simulation for Network Research
and
	Network Visualization with the VINT Network Animator Nam

Links to both will appear on 
<http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/ns-research.html>
by tomorrow.

The first paper might be appropriate to cite about ns if you'd rather
cite a paper.
