Where doesn't it give appropriate credit?

1. The description line for the Github package reads "Gosper's HashLife in CoffeeScript"

2. The readme says: "Cafe au Life implements Bill Gosper's HashLife algorithm."

3. The docs say "Cafe au Life is based on Bill Gosper's brilliant <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashlife>HashLife</a...; algorithm."


Well, I could be wrong but I swear did an 'F3' on the page earlier to search for Gosper and it seemed like it wasn't there then.

Apologies for not being able to use a browser and falsely accusing you!


Credit for ideas is important. I'd rather 100 people falsely accuse me than have one omission slip through. Thanks for caring.
