Privoxy is based in part on code originally developed by Junkbusters Corp. and Anonymous Coders.
-Privoxy heavily relies on Philip Hazel's PCRE.
-The code to filter compressed content makes use of zlib which is written by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler.
-On systems that lack snprintf(), Privoxy is using a version written by Mark Martinec. On systems that lack strptime(), Privoxy is using the one from the GNU C Library written by Ulrich Drepper.
