-The `xspy` X11 keylogger was written, according to its source code comments, by
-Jon A. Maxwell. The source was found [floating about on the web][1] on Jul
-26th, 2014. The `xspy` program has been included in security-focused Linux
-distributions (at least BackTrack and BlackArch) seemingly in the same
-unchanged source form.
-
-According the comments, the program was written by Jon A. Maxwell (noted to
-also be known as "JAM") with the email address `jmaxwell@acm.vt.edu`. The
-author was not contactable.
-
-The code was rewritten to be more amenable to machine parsing and for
-GNU-C11-compatibility by Antti Korpi `an@cyan.io`. To sufficiently distinguish
-the completely different API and purpose, it was renamed.
