91 Most obviously, plan9port derives from
92 <a href="http://9p.io/plan9">Plan 9 from Bell Labs</a>

98 Rob Pike suggested the original X11 port of libdraw years ago,
99 as part of drawterm, and strongly encouraged the Mac OS X work.
100 He has also been a consistent source of good ideas to hide
101 the ugliness of modern Unix.

107 (with Taj Khattra) and many of

113 Andrey Mirtchovski and Axel Belinfante have done significant
