Authors
-------

Sebastian Faehler — Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR)
    Concept, requirements and the entire workflow design: what has to be recorded, when the
    operator can realistically be asked for it, and what must never be allowed to cost
    instrument time. Reverse-engineering of the MultiVu side, testing on the DynaCool, and
    every decision about how the program behaves in the laboratory.

Kilian Lenz — Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR)
    The electronic lab notebook side: the MediaWiki data model this program writes into —
    samples, projects, sample series — the Cargo tables behind it, and the measurement-protocol
    template that turns a page of parameters into a readable record.


Development assistance
----------------------

Parts of the implementation were written with Claude (Anthropic) under the direction and review
of the authors above.

This is a disclosure, not an attribution of authorship. Software produced by a machine is not
itself an object of copyright in the jurisdictions that matter here; the rights arise from the
human authorship — the design, the decisions and the review — and belong to the holder named
above. The tool is named because in a scientific setting how a result was produced should be
visible, and because a reader of this repository is entitled to know.


Rights of use and exploitation
------------------------------

Both authors are employed by the HZDR, so under section 69b of the German Copyright Act
(UrhG) — and as stated in HZDR Directive B 230, "Right of use and utilisation" — the rights of use
and exploitation lie with the research centre. The copyright line above follows from that.
