:* Comment. I think this is a keep-but-cleanup. It won't be hard now you've got our attention [[User:William M. Connolley|William M. Connolley]] ([[User talk:William M. Connolley|talk]]) 15:38, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
'''Note:''' Many people have contributed to DIPC's design and development, but Mohsen Sharifi just isn't one of them. Allowing his comments to stay is unfair to everybody else who actually did something useful for the project. Mohsen Sharifi's contribution was to rename DIPC 2.1 as C-Sharifi (notice the name? He likes to poses things) and try to sell it. This is of course illegal because DIPC is GPL code.
So I'll try to provide evidence to show who did what in DIPC's development. Please notice Mohsen Sharifi's contribution in the list. It politely means "not much"
If the following doesn't settle the matter, I don't know what will.
1) From the file AUTHORS in Sourceforge's Alpha 3.0 version of DIPC:
"Original DIPC system by: Kamran Karimi (karimi@cs.uregina.ca)
Version 3.0 by: Kyle Centers (kyle.centers@dynetics.com)
See also docs/dipc.people for other contributions"
2) From the file docs/dipc.people in the 2.1-beta version of DIPC: (Sorry this is long. This file and Mohsen Sharifi's corresponding entry have been present since the first release of DIPC, but Mohsen Sharifi never contested it until after his C-Sharifi failed to sell)
