AUTHOR

kmod project was started by Lucas De Marchi as a drop-in replacement to module-init-tools that was maintained by Jon Masters, adding a library (libkmod) and additional features.

Numerous contributions have come from the linux-modules mailing list <linux-modules@vger.kernel.org> and Github. If you have a clone of kmod.git itself, the output of git-shortlog(1) and git-blame(1) can show you the authors for specific parts of the project.

Lucas De Marchi <lucas.de.marchi@gmail.com> is the current maintainer of the project.
