AUTHORS

 Software: Lucian Constantin
 FreeBSD porting: Ion-Mihai Tetcu
 LaTeX testing: Cristi Magerusan
 Speller testing: Alin Dobre and Gentoo Romanian Translation Team (www.gentoo.ro)

A lot of other people made this project possible as follows:

1. Spelling Dictionary

1.1

Some words come from dexonline.ro, an online dictionary developed by Catalin Francu and contributors.

1.2

Mihai Budiu, the author of the first romanian spelling dictionary integrated in ispell and aspell

1.3

Adrian Stoica and Open Office Romanian Translation Team (www.cuvinte.ro/ooo/). The spelling dictionary is distributed with the following readme:

 Files: ro_RO.dic, ro_RO.aff
 License: GNU GPL (www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html)
 Authors: This version of the dictionary was released by Adrian Stoica (adrian.stoica@cuvinte.ro)
 starting from the Romanian MySpell dictionary derived by Nicu Buculei (nicu@apsro.com) from 
 the Ispell dictionary created by Mihai Budiu (www.cs.cmu.edu/~mihaib). Words list was
 completed using DEX online (dexonline.ro).

1.4

The English dictionary was ported directly from Open Office. The original license is as follows:

 20040623 release. This dictionary is based on a subset of the original English wordlist created by
 Kevin Atkinson for Pspell and  Aspell and thus is covered by his original LGPL license.  The affix
 file is a heavily modified version of the original english.aff file which was released as part of
 Geoff Kuenning's Ispell and as such is covered by his BSD license. Thanks to both authors for their
 wonderful work.

2. Miscelleanous software included in rospell:

2.1

QT/pthread detection: Serghei Amelian, originally developed for qfaxreader software (qfaxreader.sourceforge.net) released under GPL.

2.2

The author of strcasestr() implementation used by win32 version is Stephen R. van den Berg; the code is distributed with the following text:
