Authors, license and credits

It is based on the GCollections library created by Peter Sestoft at the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, Copenhagen, Denmark during his visit to Microsoft Research, Cambridge in 2001. Niels Kokholm at the IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark extended the library as a Master's thesis project advised by Peter Sestoft. Subsequent completion of the library was financed in part by a grant from Microsoft Research University Relations.

Bug reports, feedback and suggestions are welcome at niels.kokholm@edlund.dk and sestoft@itu.dk.
