CREDITS 2002-04-23 Bas Blender offered to make a splash screen. 2002-01-24 Frank Pieczynski provided improved blue icons. 2002-01-23 Roland Gigler provided a fix for the filename corruption on the screen display when a tape is restored. 2002-01-20 Frank Pieczynski provided a workaround for loading icons in high-color themes when repeated questions to kde-devel yielded no useful advice. 2001-11-25 All versions of kdat prior to KDE-2.x were developed and/or supported by Sean Vyain (svyain@mail.tds.net). Starting with KDE-2.x, Larry Widman (kdat@cardiothink.com) volunteered to serve as maintainer because the package was about to be dropped for lack of a maintainer. It is unclear what happened to Sean. One email correspondent reported that he had been killed in a car crash. The KDE coordinator said that multiple attempts to contact him by email had been unsuccessful. Anyone who has information about Sean Vyain, who has made many contributions to the Open Source movement, would be appreciated and may be directed to Larry Widman (email address above). Re legal stuff. The copyright to the kdat source code up to when maintainership changed is owned by Sean Vyain. If he is in fact deceased, the copyright ownership presumably passes to his estate. Any representative of that estate should feel free to contact the current kdat maintainer in case licensing issues should arise in the future.
