                     36:      BILF (distributed with the VMS stuff) is copyrighted by Rahul Dhesi,
                     37:      but it is freely distributable.
                     38: 
                     39:      The functions extract_or_test_files() and store_info() in extract.c,
                     40:      do_string() and return_VMS() in misc.c, VMS version of echo() in
                     41:      file_io.c, and find_end_central_dir() in unzip.c, were written by
                     42:      Greg Roelofs and subsequently modified by many others via Info-ZIP.
                     43:      I do not claim a copyright on these routines, but I do ask that no
                     44:      one else do so either, :-) and that anyone using them in other pro-
                     45:      grams note their source.
                     46: 
                     47:      The function decrypt_member() in extract.c and the password functions
                     48:      in file_io.c were written by Mark Adler, as were the inflate.c and
                     49:      explode.c modules.
                     50: 
                     51:      The function mapped_name() in mapname.c was written by David Kirschbaum,
                     52:      based on the XXU program by Frank Da Cruz.
                     53: 
                     54:      The module match.c was written by J. Kercheval and modified by David
                     55:      Kirschbaum for use in UnZip.
                     56: 
                     57:      Original notes from unzip 2.0a by Carl Mascott, [email protected]
                     58:      (these are only the modifications which seem still to exist):
                     59:         * 12/14/89  C. Mascott  2.0a   adapt for UNIX
                     60:         *              don't pre-allocate output file space
                     61:         *              implement -t, -v, member file specs
                     62:         *              buffer all input
                     63:         *              fix "Bad CRC" msg: good/bad CRCs were swapped
                     64:         *              check for write error on output file
                     65: 
                     66:      Most of the remaining routines have contributions from all of us, and
                     67:      show it. :-)
                     68: 
                     69: ===============================================================================
                     70: 
                     71:    Info-ZIP comments:
                     72: 
                     73:    Info-ZIP has very little interest in legal matters, aside from the usual
                     74:    "CYA" sense (that's an acronym, and you can figure it out yourself :-) ).
                     75: 
                     76:    As far as we are aware--and please note that the numerous contributors 
                     77:    and copyright holders make this a little uncertain--the UnZip code is now 
                     78:    "clean" in the sense that an UnZip executable may be distributed with a
                     79:    commercial product SO LONG AS IT IS CLEAR THAT UNZIP IS NOT BEING SOLD,
                     80:    THAT THE SOURCE CODE IS FREELY AVAILABLE, AND THAT THERE ARE NO EXTRA OR
                     81:    HIDDEN CHARGES RESULTING FROM ITS USE BY OR INCLUSION WITH THE COMMERCIAL
                     82:    PRODUCT.  In particular, the retroactive copyright on unimplode.c which
                     83:    Carl Mascott requested we include in UnZip 4.2 is no longer in force, since
                     84:    Mark Adler has rewritten the module in question from scratch (it's about
                     85:    twice as fast, too! :-) ).
                     86: 
                     87:    Regarding the original copyright by Mr. Smith:  Info-ZIP has finally found
                     88:    him again (he's moved to southern California), and he's apparently happy
                     89:    with the current code and restrictions.  More specifically, since the 
                     90:    current incarnation of UnZip can be considered "our own"--it bears very 
                     91:    little resemblance to his original program, in either content or size :-)
                     92:    --and since we freely distribute the source code, we believe that we are 
                     93:    within the bounds of his third stipulation.
                     94: 
                     95:    Info-ZIP continues to rewrite portions of the code as time permits, in an
                     96:    effort to eliminate as many of the restrictions (and bugs) as possible.
                     97:    The bugs are our primary concern, however, so don't hold your breath. :-)
