component AP gateway: fix handling of XMPP comments authors: the gateway was supposing that comments where emitted from PEP of author. While this is the case for most blog posts, it's not for comments. Instead the component is now using `author_jid` which is retrieved by XEP-0277 plugin, and reject the item if the auhor is not verified (i.e. if `publisher` attribute is not set by XMPP service).

## CREDIT

A big big thank to the authors/contributors of...

proxy65:
Libervia (plugin_xep_0065) use nearly all the code from proxy65 (http://code.google.com/p/proxy65/) which was coded by Dave Smith (2002-2004) and maintained by Fabio Forno (2007-2008).
As the original MIT licence allows, the code is reused and sub-licenced until GPL v3 to follow the rest of the code.

progressbar:
Libervia (jp) use ProgressBar (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/progressbar/2.2), a class coded by Nilton Volpato which allow the textual representation of progression.

twisted:
Libervia is heavily based on the twisted framework (http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/), a very great tool which offer a lot of protocols management. There are too many contributors to name them here, so take a look on the website :).

wokkel:
Libervia use a library with high level enhancements on top of twisted, which is called wokkel (http://wokkel.ik.nu). Lot of thanks to Ralph Meijer and all other contributors.

Urwid:
Primitivus is based on Urwid (http://excess.org/urwid/) which saved me a lot of time. It's really a great library to easily make a sophisticated interface.

Pyjamas:
Libervia is built with a Pyjamas (http://pyjs.org), a Google Web Toolkit port for python, including Python to Javascript compiler, and Pyjamas Desktop which allow to execute the same application on the desktop or through a browser. It's really an amazing tool.

Kivy and its linked tools (python-for-android, buildozer, plyer, pyjnius):
Kivy and linked tools (https://kivy.org) are used to build Cagou frontend, and to port it on several platforms. Excellent pieces of software, well thought, 

Kivy garden:
in addition to Kivy itself, extension from the garden are used:
- contextmenu: used to display main and context menus

lxml(http://lxml.de/):
this powerful and efficient XML parsing module is used sometimes to replace Twisted internal tools: its API is handy, and it have some features like evil content cleaning.

pillow(https://python-pillow.github.io/):
This image manipulation module is used for avatars

txJSON-RPC:
Libervia use txJSON-RPC (https://launchpad.net/txjsonrpc), a twisted library to communicate with the browser's javascript throught JSON-RPC

Mutagen:
Mutagen (https://bitbucket.org/lazka/mutagen) is an audio metadata handling library, it's used by the radiocol plugin.

Python OTR (http://python-otr.pentabarf.de), PyCrypto (https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto) and pyOpenSSL(https://github.com/pyca/pyopenssl):
Used for cryptography

otr.js and its dependencies Big Integer Library, CryptoJS, EventEmitter:
Libervia frontend uses otr.js and its dependencies:
    - otr.js was coded by Arlo Breault (2014) and is released under the Mozilla Public License Version 2.0
    - Big Integer Library was coded by Leemon Baird (2000-2013) and is in the public domain
    - CryptoJS was coded by Jeff Mott (2009-2013) and is released under the MIT licence
    - EventEmitter was coded by Oliver Caldwell (2011-2013) and is released under the MIT licence
As the original licences allow, the code is reused and sub-licenced until GPL v3 to follow the rest of the code.

mardown (https://pythonhosted.org/Markdown/) and html2text (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/html2text/2015.6.21):
both are used for syntaxes conversions

Jinja2 (http://jinja.pocoo.org/):
a poweful template engine for Python that we use for designing Libervia's static blog pages

miniupnp (http://miniupnp.free.fr/):
this UPnP-IGD implementation is used to facilitate P2P sessions

netifaces (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/netifaces):
when available, this module is used to detect local IPs

pictures found in the libervia_media repository and used by Libervia and Libervia:
Please read the credits and licence information that are given in the README and COPYING files for each work: http://repos.goffi.org/libervia_media/file

the powerfull ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/) is used by the script written to split the previously named picture.

PyXDF (http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pyxdg):
Used to follow FreeDesktop XDG standards

A special thank to people working on XMPP standards, libre standards are the way to go !

and the others:
and of course, nothing would be possible without Python (http://www.python.org/), GNU and the Free Software Foundation (http://www.gnu.org, http://www.fsf.org/), the Linux Kernel (http://www.kernel.org/), and the coder of the tools we use like Vim (http://www.vim.org/), Mercurial (http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/), or all the KDE stuff (http://www.kde.org/ and of course http://amarok.kde.org/), and also XFCE (http://www.xfce.org), etc. Thanks thanks thanks, thanks to everybody in the Free (Libre) chain for making a part of this.

If we forgot any credit (and we probably have), please contact us (mail below) to fix it.
