Riece is mainly written by Daiki Ueno <ueno@unixuser.org>.
The development of Riece has started to redesign the Liece IRC client.
-Liece is based on Irchat (version 3.01) which has been distributed

-written by the same author of Riece. Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi> is
-the original author of Irchat. See doc/irchat-copyright.el for the

+Liece was mainly written by the same author of Riece. Liece is based

Riece has many code borrowed from other GPL'ed elisp packages such as
Gnus, Emacs-w3m, ECB, and SEMI. I would like to thank the developers
