+@node Contributors, Copying, Maintenance, Top
+@appendix Contributors to the GNU C Library
+
+The GNU C library was written originally by Roland McGrath, and is
+currently maintained by Ulrich Drepper.  Some parts of the library were
+contributed or worked on by other people.
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+The @code{getopt} function and related code were written by
+Richard Stallman, @w{David J.} MacKenzie, and @w{Roland McGrath}.
+
+@item
+The merge sort function @code{qsort} was written by Michael J. Haertel.
+
+@item
+The quick sort function used as a fallback by @code{qsort} was written
+by Douglas C. Schmidt.
+
+@item
+The memory allocation functions @code{malloc}, @code{realloc} and
+@code{free} and related code were written by Michael J. Haertel,
+@w{Wolfram Gloger}, and @w{Doug Lea}.
+
+@item
+Fast implementations of many of the string functions (@code{memcpy},
+@code{strlen}, etc.) were written by Torbj@"orn Granlund.
+
+@item
+The @file{tar.h} header file was written by David J. MacKenzie.
+
+@item
+The port to the MIPS DECStation running Ultrix 4
+(@code{mips-dec-ultrix4})
+was contributed by Brendan Kehoe and Ian Lance Taylor.
+
+@item
+The DES encryption function @code{crypt} and related functions were
+contributed by Michael Glad.
+
+@item
+The @code{ftw} and @code{nftw} functions were contributed by Ulrich Drepper.
+
+@item
+The startup code to support SunOS shared libraries was contributed by
+Tom Quinn.
+
+@item
+The @code{mktime} function was contributed by Paul Eggert.
+
+@item
+The port to the Sequent Symmetry running Dynix version 3
+(@code{i386-sequent-bsd}) was contributed by Jason Merrill.
+
+@item
+The timezone support code is derived from the public-domain timezone
+package by Arthur David Olson and his many contributors.
+
+@item
+The port to the DEC Alpha running OSF/1 (@code{alpha-dec-osf1}) was
+contributed by Brendan Kehoe, using some code written by Roland McGrath.
+
+@item
+The port to SGI machines running Irix 4 (@code{mips-sgi-irix4}) was
+contributed by Tom Quinn.
+
+@item
+The port of the Mach and Hurd code to the MIPS architecture
+(@code{mips-@var{anything}-gnu}) was contributed by Kazumoto Kojima.
+
+@item
+The floating-point printing function used by @code{printf} and friends
+and the floating-point reading function used by @code{scanf},
+@code{strtod} and friends were written by Ulrich Drepper.  The
+multi-precision integer functions used in those functions are taken from
+GNU MP, which was contributed by Torbj@"orn Granlund.
+
+@item
+The internationalization support in the library, and the support
+programs @code{locale} and @code{localedef}, were written by Ulrich
+Drepper.  Ulrich Drepper adapted the support code for message catalogs
+(@file{libintl.h}, etc.) from the GNU @code{gettext} package, which he
+also wrote.  He also contributed the @code{catgets} support and the
+entire suite of multi-byte and wide-character support functions
+(@file{wctype.h}, @file{wchar.h}, etc.).
+
+@item
+The implementations of the @file{nsswitch.conf} mechanism and the files
+and DNS backends for it were designed and written by Ulrich Drepper and
+Roland McGrath, based on a backend interface defined by Peter Eriksson.
+
+@item
+The port to Linux i386/ELF (@code{i386-@var{anything}-linux}) was
+contributed by Ulrich Drepper, based in large part on work done in
+Hongjiu Lu's Linux version of the GNU C Library.
+
+@item
+The port to Linux/m68k (@code{m68k-@var{anything}-linux}) was
+contributed by Andreas Schwab.
+
+@item
+The ports to Linux/ARM (@code{arm-@var{ANYTHING}-linuxaout}) and ARM
+standalone (@code{arm-@var{ANYTHING}-none}), as well as parts of the
+IPv6 support code, were contributed by Philip Blundell.
+
+@item
+Richard Henderson contributed the ELF dynamic linking code and other
+support for the Alpha processor.
+
+@item
+David Mosberger-Tang contributed the port to Linux/Alpha
+(@code{alpha-@var{anything}-linux}).
+
+@item
+The port to Linux on PowerPC (@code{powerpc-@var{anything}-linux})
+was contributed by Geoffrey Keating.
+
+@item
+Miles Bader wrote the argp argument-parsing package, and the argz/envz
+interfaces.
+
+@item

+families of functions; reentrant @samp{@dots{}@code{_r}} versions of the
+@code{random} family; System V shared memory and IPC support code; and
+several highly-optimized string functions for i@var{x}86 processors.
+
+@item

+Microsystems, as modified by J.T. Conklin, Ian Lance Taylor,
+Ulrich Drepper, Andreas Schwab, and Roland McGrath.
+
+@item
+The @code{libio} library used to implement @code{stdio} functions on
+some platforms was written by Per Bothner and modified by Ulrich Drepper.
+
