libmtp was invented by:

Richard Low <richard@wentnet.com>

Linus Walleij <triad@df.lth.se>

We both came to do libmtp after working on the libnjb

project, which was all about Creative Technology devices

implementing the OASiS and PDE protocols.

libmtp is however largely based on libptp2, which was created by

Mariusz Woloszyn <emsi@ipartners.pl> as part of gPhoto2 then

derived into its own project.

We later started to use libgphoto2 which is also based on the same

code as libptp2 but with large contributions from

Marcus Meissner <marcus@jet.franken.de>. Marcus is also a

contributor on libmtp from time to time and we're great friends.
