Without + this code, XZ Utils wouldn't exist. + + The SHA-256 implementation in liblzma is based on the code found from + 7-Zip <http://7-zip.org/>, which has a modified version of the SHA-256 + code found from Crypto++ <http://www.cryptopp.com/>. The SHA-256 code + in Crypto++ was written by Kevin Springle and Wei Dai. + + Some scripts have been adapted from gzip. The original versions + were written by Jean-loup Gailly, Charles Levert, and Paul Eggert. + Andrew Dudman helped adapting the script and their man pages for + XZ Utils. + + The GNU Autotools based build system contains files from many authors, + which I'm not trying list here. + + Several people have contributed fixes or reported bugs. Most of them + are mentioned in the file THANKS. |
