+MakeMKV converts video that you own into a free and patents-
+unencumbered format that can be played everywhere. It converts the
+video clips from proprietary (and usually encrypted) discs into a set
+of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any
+way. MakeMKV can also instantly stream decrypted video without
+intermediate conversion to a wide range of players, so you may watch
+Blu-ray and DVD discs with your favorite player on your favorite OS
+or on your favorite device.
+
+This creates a package out of a closed source component (the console
+application itself) and an open source component (the libraries and
+GUI wrapper). Neither is usable on its own and both are built and/or
+packaged using this script.
+
+This SlackBuild assumes automatic acceptance of the EULA for the closed
+source binary component (the open source component has no EULA). You
+should read the EULA upon installation at
+/usr/doc/makemkv-$VERSION/eula_en_linux.txt and uninstall the
+package if you do not agree to its terms. Also note that decrypting
+encrypted discs may be illegal depending on where you live.
+
+Please note that this contains closed-source *commercial* beta software.
+It will remain free (as in beer) throughout the beta, but with a few
+annoyances (unless you pay for a registration key, which should work
+fine with this package):
+
+MakeMKV BETA has several major restrictions.
+
+Program is time-limited -- it will stop functioning after 60 days. You
+can always download the latest version from makemkv.com that will reset
+the expiration date.
+
+HD-DVD support is limited - some discs may fail to open and not all
+audio and subtitle tracks will be preserved.
+
+Blu-ray and DVD discs are fully supported.
+
+Note that usually new registration keys are posted in the official
+MakeMKV forums so that old time-expired MakeMKV versions will still
+work during the beta (so you won't need to immediately upgrade to a
+newer version).
