8    Major parts of liblzma are based on code written by Igor Pavlov,
9    specifically the LZMA SDK <https://7-zip.org/sdk.html>. Without
10    this code, XZ Utils wouldn't exist.

13    Wei Dai in Crypto++ Library <https://www.cryptopp.com/>.

15    A few scripts have been adapted from GNU gzip. The original
16    versions were written by Jean-loup Gailly, Charles Levert, and
17    Paul Eggert. Andrew Dudman helped adapting the scripts and their
18    man pages for XZ Utils.
