-<h2>Acknowledgements</h2>
-
-The first versions of <b>ProGuard</b> grew out of <b>RetroGuard</b>, which its
-author Mark Welsh kindly made available under the GNU Lesser General Public
-License. RetroGuard is a very nice piece of code, but it only performed
-obfuscation. I started from the class file parsing code and wrote my own
-shrinker, optimizer, obfuscator, and preverifier. As of version 4.0, all of the
-original code has been rewritten, so the most obvious remaining similarity are
-the program names.
-<p>
-
-Dirk Schnelle has contributed and maintained the first versions of the Ant
-task. I have rewritten the implementation for version 3.0, but the XML schema
-is still based on his work.
-<p>
-
-Marcel Patzlaff has initiated a series of artifacts in the Maven Central
-repository. I am now maintaining them as part of the official builds.
-<p>

-interesting ideas, bug reports, and bug fixes: Thorsten Heit, Oliver Retzl,
