I don't know.

The original GD's CREDITS.txt was already outdated.

The dude who involved in GoldenDict the longest time (since 2010), Abs62, is not even in the CREDITS.txt.

It is unlikely that we can accurately update it.

How about we stop bundling CREDITS.txt in the executable.

And we don't touch the file, leave it in the repo just as it is.

Then add a line in the About dialog under original GD's author's copyright notice that says:

(c) 2009-2024 The GoldenDict(-ng) Community

2009 is because it is the date that GD first occurs on internet (as far as I find).

"Community" because i don't like the word "Developers" as software development also requires testing, packaging, translation, brainstorming ideas.....

This is what other softwares do
