Xaraya Credits

Xaraya is, as many successful Open Source products, a huge collaborative effort spanning many diverse talents from across the globe. The list below gives an accurate as possible picture of the people that have helped in the development of this software.

Xaraya was originally known as PostNuke (now Zikula), which in turn was a fork of PHPNuke by Francisco Burzi. Many of the concepts in that program survive even though the code does not. We (and PHPNuke, of course) were also influenced by earlier products such as slash and thatware, and I'm sure that we could trace the lineage back to the earliest weblog if we wanted to. Open Source at work is taking the best ideas floating around the web and building a product out of them, and that's where we hope that Xaraya is heading.

Copyright Information

Author Copyright

Copyright of the files of the Xaraya 2 codebase are the property of their respective authors.

PHP code files contain mention of the original authors. Template and other files in general contain no such mention.

Most PHP files have undergone modification over time by other contributors, in general without the listed authors being changed. The exact authorship situation is therefore reflected in the logs of Xaraya 2's revision control system.

DDF

In 2005 the then contributors to the Xaraya project agreed to share copyright of the Xaraya 1 code base with the Digital Development Foundation (DDF), an entity based in New York, through the mechanism of a Joint Copyright Agreement (JCA).

The JCA assigns copyright of the Xaraya 1 code base to the DDF with the same rights and responsibilities as that of the original copyright holders.

Since 2005 therefore, all contributions to the Xaraya 1 code base are automatically subject to the terms of theJCA.

It has not been legally demonstrated whether the JCA is also applicable to the Xaraya 2 code base, as successor to - but distinct from - the Xaraya 1 code base. The comments referring to the DDF and JCA are included in the interest of complete disclosure, and do not consitute an opinion whether the JAC applies to the Xaraya 2 code base or not.
