 [Vincent Burel](https://github.com/vburel2018) for creating Voicemeeter, its SDK, the C Remote API, the RT Packet service and Streamer View app!
 
-[Christian Volkmann](https://github.com/chvolkmann) for the detailed work that went into creating the underlying Remote API Python Interface.
-Unfortunately, the Remote API Python Interface has `NOT` been open source licensed. I have [raised an issue](https://github.com/chvolkmann/voicemeeter-remote-python/issues/13) and asked directly and politely but so far no response. If a license is added in future I will update this section. Without an open source license there is no guarantee that in future this package may not be pulled down, without any notice.
