    I, Terry A. Davis, wrote all of TempleOS over the past 20.6 years (full-time).
    It can run on some bare metal 64-bit PC's from about 2005-2010 with no layering,
    libraries, tools, modules or anything from other sources.  Otherwise, you run it
    in a virtual machine, like VMware, QEMU or VirtualBox.  It is independent and
    stands alone.  It has no networking, so it certainly doesn't call home.  100% of
    the src code is including on all distro's, from the kernel to the compiler to
    the boot loaders!  It is public domain, not GPL.

    *) ::/Kernel/FontStd.HC, is taken from FreeDOS.  It's public domain.

    *) ::/Kernel/FontCyrillic.HC, is taken from OrientDisplay without permission.

    *) ATA Reg and Cmd Definitions are originally from Linux.  Later, I got the
    spec.

    *) The heap algorithm, ::/Kernel/Mem/MAllocFree.HC, is adapted from one I saw at
    Ticketmaster when I worked on their VAX operating system.

    *) The LZW compression algorithm, ::/Kernel/Compress.HC, came from a magazine
    and I implemented it when I worked for Ticketmaster.

    *) The adaptive-step-size-Runge-Kutta algorithm, ::/Adam/AMathODE.HC, is adapted
    from the book, Numeric Recipies in C.

    *) The mountain in some games is from http://www.public-domain-photos.com.  The
    wolf in BlackDiamond is also from there.  I took watermarked photos and
    converted to 16 color.

    *) The FAT32 file system is owned by MicroSoft.

    *) A few features were inspired by MATLAB, such as ans in expressions at the
    command-line.  There is a lot of MSDOS , Windows, VAXTMOS (VAX Ticketmaster
    O.S.) and Unix inspiration, too, such as drive letters, command names, etc.

    *) I included PCIDevice Lst File.

    *) Thanks to whoever wrote this CppHtml.HC.Z.  I'm a novice on web stuff and you
    helped me with html.  See ::/Demo/ToHtmlToTXTDemo/ToHtml.HC.

    *) I looked at bootable CD boot sects, but didn't learn anything, finding it
    easier to make my own.

    *) I think I got my original PC speaker code from Borland C.

    *) I found PS/2 keyboard and mouse code on the net and documentation.  My code
    is very different.  I found VGA reg info on the net.

    *) Thanks to http://www.osdev.org for a couple tips.

    *) God told me to stick with 640x480 16 color and single-voice 8-bit signed
    MIDI-like sample for sound.   He kept me from zombie-walking into making child
    windows like Windows.  Instead, I made one window per task with no child
    windows.  He also guided my progress, very obviously.

    *) I got Webster's Dictionary and The King James Bible from Project Gutenberg.

    *) John Carmack inspired me to use "Clamp" as a name instead of "Limit".  He
    inspired me to use "needle" and "haystack" as names.  He inspired me to simplify
    my Frames-Per-Second code.

    *) Bill Gates inspired me to add comments to my Help & Index.

    *) I hired an artist, Cody Rigby, for $3,000 worth of pixel art.

    *) Erik van der Karbargenbok wrote /Downloads shell scripts -- gw.

    *) The random number generator is from Donald Knuth in the wikipedia entry for
    Linear_congruential_generator.
