61BRLTTY AUTHORS
62
63Liblouis was derived from the Linux screen reader BRLTTY. Because it
64is rather difficult to trace back exactly which parts of BRLTTY ended
65up in liblouis we just list all BRLTTY contributors here (see also
Dave Mielkeb4c34f42017-01-12 12:49:24 -050066brltty.com/contact.html).
