When you right-click GZDoom.exe and choose "Properties", and then open to the "Version" tab, you can see stuff like version info, comments, etc.

There's a minor typo in the "Copyright" section:
Copyright © 1993-1996, id Software, 1998-2005, Randy Heit, 200-2006 Christoph Oelckers
It would be interesting if Doom existed way back in 200 AD. :P

Who is Christoph Oelckers anyway?

Me. I can hardly write Copyright by Graf Zahl, can't I? It wouldn't have any legal meaning to assign copyright to a Sesame Street character, would it? ;)

Oh, so that's your real name! I never knew Graf Zahl was a Sesame Street character (I don't really have anything memorable with that show as a child)...

He's not called Graf Zahl in non-German speaking countries. No idea what he'd be called in Malaysia.

Oh he's just known as "Count von Count" or The Count since Malaysian TV only plays the American version of Sesame Street.

(I loved watching the Cookie Monster when I was a kid. I'd remember being very annoyed that he wasn't really eating the cookies, they'd just crumble to bits and I'd be like, "what a waste of good cookies!" :))

GZDoom is coded by Graf Zahl... A german programmer?
No, in fact, this name is only a Sesame Street character, and his real name is Christoph Oelckers.
