code.delx.au - refind/blob - CREDITS.txt

   1 Although I (Roderick W. Smith) am releasing rEFInd in its current form, the
   2 program is not the work of a single person. Others have contributed to the
   3 program, both in its original version (rEFIt) and by providing features
   4 I've incorporated into the current version. Specifically:
   5
   6 Program (C source code) files:
   7 ------------------------------
   8
   9 * Christoph Pfisterer was the original author of rEFIt. See its Web page,
  10   http://refit.sourceforge.net, for this version of the program. Christoph
  11   has therefore contributed more to rEFInd than anybody else, myself
  12   included; my changes are comparatively small additions to the original
  13   rEFIt base.
  14
  15 * The Debian project has made a version of rEFIt available that
  16   incorporates a number of patches, all attributed to Julien BLACHE
  17   (jblache@debian.org), to enable it to build properly on a Linux system.
  18   It was this version of rEFIt that I used as a starting point for creating
  19   rEFInd. See http://packages.debian.org/sid/refit for this version of the
  20   program.
  21
  22 * The filesystem drivers released with version 0.4.0 rely on a filesystem
  23   wrapper created by Christoph Phisterer. They then passed through Oracle's
  24   VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org) and the Clover boot loader
  25   project (https://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/). The
  26   filesystem-specific code comes from various sources, including Apple,
  27   the Linux kernel, and Christoph Pfisterer.
  28
  29 * Assorted support code is borrowed from the TianoCore EDK2
  30   (https://sourceforge.net/projects/tianocore/), which is the reference
  31   implementation for EFI.
  32
  33 * Dave Vasilevsky (dave@vasilevsky.ca) contributed the disk-ejection
  34   code.
  35
  36 * John Bressler (jrb1327@gmail.com) contributed the code to boot BIOS-based
  37   OSes on UEFI-based PCs.
  38
  39 * The code for editing boot options (cursor_left(), cursor_right(), and
  40   line_edit() in screen.c) is taken from gummiboot
  41   (http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/gummiboot).
  42
  43 * Stefan Agner (stefan@agner.ch) turned the original ext2fs/ext3fs driver
  44   into one that can read ext4fs.
  45
  46 * Matthew J. Garrett (mjg@redhat.com) wrote the shim boot loader upon which
  47   rEFInd relies for its Secure Boot functionality. I took a few shim
  48   functions to help out on the rEFInd side, too; see the mok/mok.c source
  49   code file.
  50
  51 * James Bottomley (James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com) wrote the
  52   Linux Foundation's PreBootloader, which is an alternative to shim. I've
  53   found that much of its code is also useful in implementing Secure Boot
  54   functionality in rEFInd. Most of the files in the mok subdirectory are
  55   based on Bottomley's PreBootloader code.
  56
  57 * The PNG support, in the files libeg/lodepng.c and libeg/lodepng.h, is a
  58   slightly modified version of LodePNG (http://lodev.org/lodepng/) by Lode
  59   Vandevenne. (The libeg/lodepng_xtra.c file provides some necessary
  60   ancillary and interface functions written by me.)
  61
  62 Icons and graphics:
  63 -------------------
  64
  65 * I replaced many of the original rEFIt icons with icons taken from the
  66   Oxygen Icons project, either from the Oxygen Refit package on its page
  67   (http://deviantdark.deviantart.com/art/Oxygen-Refit-70199755) or from the
  68   oxygen-icons version 4.7.4 package on my Gentoo Linux development system.
  69   These icons are released under the LGPLv3 or GPLv3. If I'm reading the
  70   pages correctly, the original creator was David Vignoni (aka
  71   "deviantdark" on the deviantart site).
  72
  73 * The keys icon for MOK keys management comes from the
  74   kdeartwork-iconthemes-4.8.5 package on Gentoo.
  75
  76 * The gummiboot icon is taken from the gummiboot Web page
  77   (http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/gummiboot) and scaled down
  78   slightly.
  79
  80 * The Linux Mint icon comes from the Linux Mint 11.1 user guide
  81   (http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/linuxmint.com/docs/user-guide/)
  82
  83 * The Arch Linux icon was created by ~IDRGSKYWALKER on Deviant Art
  84   (http://idrgskywalker.deviantart.com/art/Arch-Linux-Logo-186211022).
  85
  86 * The Fatdog Linux icon was created by the Fatdog developers (see
  87   http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/ for the Fatdog project).
  88
  89 * The ALT Linux icon was donated by the ALT Linux developers (see
  90   http://www.altlinux.com).
  91
  92 * Erik Kemperman provided the rEFInd icon, which is a combination of
  93   the common refresh/reload icon and the search/find icon.
