About a year ago I have contributed a patch to X-Chat, containing a
function which reverses hebrew. The main function in the patch contained
was named strhebpatch, which takes a source string as an argument and
reverses it, storing it in a destination address.
A year later, while casually browsing the source code of licq, I noticed
that the function has propagated to it. Unfortunately, while being
credited in the X-Chat ChangeLog (1.5.3), I forgot to add a credit line
in the code itself, so whoever propagated it, has wrongly took the full
credit for it.
I refer to this E-Mail, written by Jacob Shapiro, the one who has
contributed the hebrew supprt to licq:

Also, this FAQ:

I don't remember if I have GPL'ed that code back then, but I am positive
that the code is at least GPL'ed under the X-Chat GPL.
