- * LibVNCServer (C) 2001 Johannes E. Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de>
- is based on
- * Original OSXvnc (C) 2001 Dan McGuirk <mcguirk@incompleteness.net>,
- which in turn is based on
- * Original Xvnc (C) 1999 AT&T Laboratories Cambridge.
-
- Lots of improvements of this library are thanks to
- * TightVNC (C) 2000-2003 Const Kaplinsky
-
- The ZRLE compression scheme is from
- * RealVNC (James "Wez" Weatherall, who helped also with regions)
-
- The good folks from
- * KRFB (I think it was Tim Jansen)
- helped also a lot (some *big* bugs!).
-
- Karl Runge provides an x11vnc, which is a much, much improved version of my
- original proof-of-concept. It really deserves to replace the old version,
- as it is a state-of-the-art, fast and usable program by now! However, he
- maintains it and improves it still in amazing ways!
-
- The file transfer protocol from TightVNC was implemented by Rohit Kumar.
- This includes an implementation of RFB protocol version 3.7t.
-
- Occasional important patches were sent by (in order I found the names in my
- archives and please don't beat me, if I forgot you, but just send me an
- email!): Akira Hatakeyama, Karl J. Runge, Justin "Zippy" Dearing,
- Oliver Mihatsch, Greg Sternberg, Werner Hofer, Giampiero Giancipoli,
- Glenn Mabutt, Paul Kreiner, Erik Kunze, Mike Frysinger, Martin Waitz,
- Mark McLoughlin, Paul Fox, Juan Jose Costello, Andre Leiadella,
- Alberto Lusiani, Malvina Mazin, Dave Stuart, Rohit Kumar, Donald Dugger,
- Steven Carr, Uwe V÷lker, Charles Coffing, Guillaume Rousse,
- Alessandro Praduroux, Brad Hards, and Timo Ketola.
-
- Probably I forgot quite a few people sending a patch here and there, which
- really made a difference. Without those, some obscure bugs still would
- be unfound.
-
- A hearty unthanks goes to Michael and Erick, who provided me with nothing
- but hollow words. Finally I got that configure and install working, but
- it would have been so much better for them not just to complain, but also
- help. As you showed me real egoism, you are the main reasons I am not
- working one dot to make this library less than GPL, so that nobody ever
- can make profit of my and others work without giving something back to me
- and others.
-
- Speaking of hollow words, another hearty unthanks goes to Sam, who thought
- he could let me work for him, not paying me in any way.
