Michael Petullo <mike[@]flyn.org> Charles Schmidt <cschmidt2[@]gmail.com> A GObject-based DAAP library was first written as a plugin for Rhythmbox by Charles Schmidt. This work was done as a part of the 2005 Google Summer of Code program. A few other developers, most notably Jonathan Matthew and William Jon McCann, contributed to the DAAP plugin after it was integrated into the Rhythmbox project. Later, Andre Magalhaes expanded Charles' code into a general purpose DMAP library, libdmapsharing. This library was used by a product called Canola and is available on SourceForge. The Canola project dropped support for DMAP before releasing its second version and the development of the libdmapsharing library stopped. At this point, libdmapsharing supported the client side of the DMAP protocol. W. Michael Petullo pulled the libdmapsharing sources from SourceForge in December of 2008. He began to add support for the server side of the DMAP protocol, pulling the latest DAAP sharing code from Rhythmbox and modifying it to support DPAP. Mike's changes were merged back into the SourceForge in January of 2009 after he was made a member of the libdmapsharing development team. The original authors of Rhythmbox's DAAP plugin have endorsed the re-licensing of their code in the following two emails: Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2009 14:46:35 -0500 From: Charles Schmidt <cschmidt2[@]gmail.com> To: "W.
