Hamster Playground was originally based on "Hamster Classic Vr. 1.3.22.0", which itself was based on the original Hamster code (both with same license). The (co-) authors of this 1.3.22.0 version were (as far as I know):

Thomas G. Liesner, <tgl(at)gmx.de> (also maintainer of Hamster Classic)
Joern Weber, <listen(at)joernweber.de>
Heiko Studt, <useHamster(at)goldpool.org>
Wolfgang Jaeth, <jawo.ml.hamster(at)freenet.de>
Philipp Kern, <mail(at)philkern.de>
Philipp Wendler, <philippwendler(at)web.de>
Jens Kordilewski, <jenskord(at)gmx.de>
Heiko Rost, <heiko.rost(at)gmx.de>
Hendrik Friedel, <hendrikf-hamster(at)nikocity.de>

Current versions of Hamster Classic can be found at: http://www.tglsoft.de/

PCRE

The "regular expression"-routines used in Hamster are based on "Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE)" written by Philip Hazel (see http://www.pcre.org/ for details):

============================================================================

PCRE LICENCE

PCRE is a library of functions to support regular expressions whose syntax
and semantics are as close as possible to those of the Perl 5 language.

============================================================================

Although the wrapper-class used for PCRE uses a slightly different approach, parts of it are at least inspired by the concepts used in "uperlre". "uperlre" is a wrapper-class for PCRE written by Luu Tran (<luu(at)xnews.3dnews.net>), also author of XNews newsreader (see http://xnews.3dnews.net/ for details).
