2Authors of XZ Utils
3===================

5    XZ Utils is developed and maintained by Lasse Collin
6    <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> and Jia Tan <jiat0218@gmail.com>.
7
8    Major parts of liblzma are based on code written by Igor Pavlov,
9    specifically the LZMA SDK <https://7-zip.org/sdk.html>. Without
10    this code, XZ Utils wouldn't exist.
11
12    The SHA-256 implementation in liblzma is based on the code found from
13    7-Zip <https://7-zip.org/>, which has a modified version of the SHA-256
14    code found from Crypto++ <https://www.cryptopp.com/>. The SHA-256 code
15    in Crypto++ was written by Kevin Springle and Wei Dai.
16
17    Some scripts have been adapted from gzip. The original versions
18    were written by Jean-loup Gailly, Charles Levert, and Paul Eggert.
19    Andrew Dudman helped adapting the scripts and their man pages for
20    XZ Utils.

22    The initial version of the threaded .xz decompressor was written
