+<h2>Credits</h2>
+
+<p>Blitz contains source code from <a href="http://www.prevayler.org">Prevayler 1.02</a> and
+<a href="http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/concurrent/intro.html">Doug
+Lea's concurrency package</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>The Prevayler source code is not quite original as it has been
+modified to support several different Prevayler types, optional
+FD.sync() calls, asynchronous checkpointing, buffering and
+programmatical control of objectoutputstream::reset. With kind
+permission from Klaus Wuestefeld this code is licensed under the
+revised BSD license.
+</p>
+
+<p>Blitz also makes use of <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/teatrove/">Disney's
+Trove 1.3.0</a> (note that the distribution in the source tree is
+not the most up to date and was modified to compile correctly under JDK
+1.4.x. Trove is licensed <a href="docs/disney_lic.txt">under
+the following terms</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>Thanks to all these projects for making my life easier!</p>
+
+<p>Blitz uses Berkeley DB Java Edition for persistence (<a href="docs/db_license.html">License</a>). Thanks to
+everyone at <a href="http://www.sleepycat.com/">Sleepycat</a>.
+The source code for Db Java Edition is available from <a href="http://www.sleepycat.com">SleepyCat.</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>Thanks to Nigel Warren and Phil Bishop for contributing a
+great test suite in the form of the source code for all the examples in
+their book, "<a href="http://www.djip.co.uk/jsipinfo/">JavaSpaces
+in Practice</a>". Special thanks to Phil for doing the initial
+testing with the examples which allowed me to concentrate on fixing the
+bugs.</p>
+
+<p>Integration with Inca X, the associated installer and the
+ServiceUI support in Dashboard was almost entirely the work of the <a href="http://www.incax.com">Inca X team</a> - a big
+thank you to them.</p>
+
+<p>Lastly, thanks to Nimrod Megiddo and Dharmendra S. Modha at
+IBM Almaden for designing <a href="http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/megiddo03arc.html">ARC</a>
+and publishing an article in <a href="http://www.usenix.org/publications/login/">;Login:
+magazine</a> which set me thinking.....</p>
