+Authors of XZ Utils
+===================
+
+ XZ Utils is developed and maintained by Lasse Collin
+ <lasse.collin@tukaani.org>.
+
+ Major parts of liblzma are based on code written by Igor Pavlov,
+ specifically the LZMA SDK <http://7-zip.org/sdk.html>. 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.
