1 The following people or companies have contributed a non-trival amount
1 of code to Aspell and thus own the Copyright to part of Aspell.
1 
1 Jose Da Silva
1      Bug fixes and enhancements to `word-list-compress'.
1 
1 Sergey Poznyakoff
1      Wrote the Nroff filter.
1 
1 Tom Snyder
1      Enhanced the SGML filter to also support skipping sgml tags such as
1      "script" blocks.
1 
1 Kevin B. Hendricks (and Contributers)
1      Wrote MySpell which is a simple spell checker library that supports
1      affix compression.  Aspell affix compression code is based on his
1      code.
1 
1 Christoph Hintermüller
1      Added support for loadable filters.
1 
1 Melvin Hadasht
1      Wrote a locale independent version of strtol and strtod.  Wrote
1      the original loadable filter support however his code has been
1      completely rewritten by Christoph Hintermüller and Kevin Atkinson.
1 
1 Björn Jacke
1      Wrote the generic soundslike algorithm which gets all of its data
1      from a file, thus eliminating almost all need for language
1      specific code from Aspell.
1 
1 Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc.
1 Hewlett-Packard Company
1      Parts of the SGI STL code were used in various places throughout
1      the Aspell source.

1    In addition the authors of some of translated messages did not
1 release their work into the Public Domain, and thus own the copyright
1 to the translated text.  See the files `*.po' in the `po' directory for
1 more details.

1 Chris Martin
1      Converted the manual to texinfo.
1 
1 Lawrence Philips
1      Wrote the original metaphone algorithm; however, he released his
1      work into the Public Domain.
1 
1 Michael Kuhn
1      Converted the metaphone algorithm into C code and made some
1      enhancements to the original algorithm.  He also released his work
1      into the Public Domain.

1 Geoff Kuenning (and contributers)
1      The authors of Ispell.  Many of the ideas used in Aspell,
1      especially with the affix code, were taken from Ispell.  However
1      none of the original Ispell code is used in Aspell.
