+This subversion distribution contains the Inferno distribution trees starting with 20060303 EXCLUDING
+derived executable files in the per-platform bin directories (except for those needed
+on a given platform to build anything, such as mk or yacc).  It also EXCLUDES any non-Free
+components, mainly the Bigelow & Holmes fonts, which can be obtained from the primary
+Inferno distribution.  Since the fonts hardly ever change, you need only do that once.
+The /dis files are also derived, of course, but they are included;
+the extra space is modest these days, and it helps support some regression testing.
+
+The overall licence is GPLv2, to accord with Google understandable limitation to one licence,
+since GPLv2 arguably imposes most constraints on redistribution (of the set we use in the full distribution),
+but where less restrictive licence is available, and could be used, that is noted in a NOTICE file.
