+The EAGLE Layout Editor is an easy to use, yet powerful tool for designing
+printed circuit boards (PCBs). The name EAGLE is an acronym, which stands for
+Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor. The program consists of three main
+modules (Layout Editor, Schematic Editor, and Autorouter) which are embedded
+in a single user interface.
+
+If EAGLE prompts for a license key the first time it is run, point it toward
+the freeware license file located at /opt/eagle-VERSION/bin/freeware.key, or
+purchase a license to unlock advanced features.
+
+After the key is accepted, you may wish to change the permission of
+/opt/eagle-VERSION/bin/eagle.key so that it is no longer world-writable.
+ chmod 0644 /opt/eagle-VERSION/bin/eagle.key
