 C.2 Contributors to MySQL
 =========================
 
 Although MySQL AB owns all copyrights in the `MySQL server' and the
 `MySQL manual', we wish to recognize those who have made contributions
 of one kind or another to the `MySQL distribution'. Contributors are
 listed here, in somewhat random order:
 
    * Gianmassimo Vigazzola <qwerg@mbox.vol.it> or <qwerg@tin.it>
 
      The initial port to Win32/NT.
 
    * Per Eric Olsson
 
      For more or less constructive criticism and real testing of the
      dynamic record format.
 
    * Irena Pancirov <irena@mail.yacc.it>
 
      Win32 port with Borland compiler.  `mysqlshutdown.exe' and
      `mysqlwatch.exe'
 
    * David J. Hughes
 
      For the effort to make a shareware SQL database. At TcX, the
      predecessor of MySQL AB, we started with `mSQL', but found that it
      couldn't satisfy our purposes so instead we wrote an SQL interface
      to our application builder Unireg. `mysqladmin' and `mysql' client
      are programs that were largely influenced by their `mSQL'
      counterparts. We have put a lot of effort into making the MySQL
      syntax a superset of `mSQL'. Many of the API's ideas are borrowed
      from `mSQL' to make it easy to port free `mSQL' programs to the
      MySQL API.  The MySQL software doesn't contain any code from
      `mSQL'. Two files in the distribution (`client/insert_test.c' and
      `client/select_test.c') are based on the corresponding
      (non-copyrighted) files in the `mSQL' distribution, but are
      modified as examples showing the changes necessary to convert code
      from `mSQL' to MySQL Server.  (`mSQL' is copyrighted David J.
      Hughes.)

      up until 1999 contributed around a third of the code base. A
      special thanks also to developers of the AXE system which provided
      much of the architectural foundations for NDB Cluster with blocks,
      signals and crash tracing functionality. Also credit should be
      given to those who believed in the ideas enough to allocate of
      their budgets for its development from 1992 to present time.
