+This software was originally developed by the Billinge group as part
+of the Distributed Data Analysis of Neutron Scattering Experiments
+(DANSE) project funded by the US National Science Foundation under
+grant DMR-0520547. Developments of PDFfit2 were funded by NSF grant
+DMR-0304391 in the Billinge group, and with support from Michigan State
+University and Columbia University. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions
+or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s)
+and do not necessarily reflect the views of the respective funding bodies.
+Subsequent development was done in the Billinge group at Columbia University
+and then in collaboration between the Billinge group at Columbia and Pavol
+Juhas at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Moving forward, PDFgui will be
+maintained as a community project with contributions welcomed from many people.
+
+If you use this program to do productive scientific research that leads
+to publication, we ask that you acknowledge use of the program by citing

+Up to the release 1.1.2 (February 2017) the copyright was held by
+the institutions that hosted the work as follows:

+As of February 2017, and the 1.1.2 release, PDFgui has moved to a shared copyright model.
+
+PDFgui uses a shared copyright model. Each contributor maintains copyright over their
+contributions to PDFgui. But, it is important to note that these contributions are
+typically only changes to the repositories. Thus, the PDFgui source code, in its entirety,
+is not the copyright of any single person or institution. Instead, it is the collective
+copyright of the entire PDFgui Development Team. If individual contributors want to
+maintain a record of what changes/contributions they have specific copyright on, they
+should indicate their copyright in the commit message of the change, when they commit
+the change to one of the PDFgui repositories.
+
+The PDFgui Development Team is the set of all contributors to the PDFgui project.
+A full list can be obtained from the git version control logs.
