This confusing wording comes to us curtosy of Possession (1981). I'll just put up this picture and ask, who gets credit for what?

Current has first credit as OMB, then the following 2 for screenwriter. This cannot be right. I'm not sure what is right, but defintily not what is there now.

That actually sound right to me. It was adapted from another screenplay.

Imho first OMB, but I would leave "Adaption and Dialogue" out. (It's a kind of screenwritting, but not covered in the credit chart)

Please explain why you would use OMB for the first credit, when it clearly states that he wrote the screenplay?

It's stated that he made the original screenplay, so Possession could also be a movie based on a screenplay (another movie) by Andrzej Zuwalski. 
Hope this is a bit comprehensible.

From the looks of the credit, it seems the first guy wrote the original screenplay and the other two adapted it, and wrote new dialogue, that was used to make the film.  Not sure if that is what happened, but that is how it looks to me.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.

I understand you, Pil. But assuming he is supplying all the available writing data, Hal would be correct.

That's why I wrote that this seems to be correct direct under Hal's post.
This would also match to what can be find in the net.
