3 I do not know the name of the original author of the findutils
4 package, but the authors of all the major components are known. Eric
5 B. Decker contributed GNU find and Michael Rendell contributed xargs.
6 James A. Woods contributed locate.
8 Here are the names of some authors culled from ChangeLog and
9 miscellaneous other files. The main criterion for whether your name
10 ends up in this file or in THANKS is that the people with entries here
11 donated code or documentation which was significant enough to require
12 a copyright assignment.
14 The locate program and its helper programs are derived (heavily
15 modified) from James Woods' public domain fast-find code, which is
16 also distributed with the 4.3BSD find.

35 Questions about findutils should be addressed to the mailing list,
36 <bug-findutils@gnu.org> which, contrary to the impression given by its
37 name, is used for general discussion of the findutils package.
