+SDR Rx/Tx software for Airspy, Airspy HF+, BladeRF, HackRF, LimeSDR,
+PlutoSDR, RTL-SDR, SDRplay RSP1 and FunCube
+
+This software project is committed to Open Source that is you as a
+visitor, collaborator, simple user... will always be guaranteed access
+to the source code. You may fork this repository, change the code, take
+bits to use in another project or just run it. It is important to
+realize that source code is THE value of this software.
+Artifacts are considered as accessory.
+This is NOT free software as in free lunch and when you run it a
+collaborative attitude is expected.
+
+This software is provided in the hope it will be useful. Its main goal
+is to provide a Software Defined Radio platform that is committed to:
+
+- be efficient: code should be written to be conservative on CPU
+  resources it is not because the CPU power of machines constantly
+  increase that this power should be wasted
+- have fast paced instrumental graphics. Thanks to OpenGL spectrum,
+  signal graphics and images can be rendered responsively
+- give power to the user by letting him/her control all aspects of the
+  DSP processing chain. But as you know with greater power comes
+  greater responsibility therefore it is expected that you already have
+  some experience with SDR applications and digital signal processing
+  in general
+- be an experimental platform for amateur radio or anyone interested in
+  matters related to electromagnetism or communication based on
+  electromagnetic waves. It is in no way intended for production
+  moreover mission critical usage.
+
+Depending to your SDR hardware you may want to install some or all:
+libairspy, libairspyhf, libbladeRF, libhackrf, liniio, libmirisdr,
+libperseus, librtlsdr, uhd ...
+(not all available at slackbuilds.org)
+
+Optional features can be enabled installing:
+libsigmf, libcm256cc, libdsdcc, sgp4, apt, libdab, libxtrx
