Members of the CLOS community (Daniel Bobrow, Richard Gabriel,
Jim Kempf, Alan Snyder, Gregor Kiczales, Lanning etc.) have participated
in the debate and formulation of
the CLOS version of the Law and prompted
us to write this paper.
Jim Kempf did contribute two examples.

Carl Woolf was initially proposing to view the object version
of the Law as the one to follow
conceptually and he did help us in wording the formulations.

Arthur Riel provided moral support and helped us with the formulations
and implications of the Law.
