+This directory and below contains code from IBM licensed under the
+"Modified BSD license." It was extracted unmodified from the IBM Cell
+SDK 3.0 library source tarball, lib_source.tar, typically found in
+/opt/cell/sdk/src/lib_source.tar.
+
+We've done this because this code doesn't come unpacked in the native
+(cell) installation of the SDK 3.0, and thus we can't just add a
+-I/path/to/this/stuff in our Makefiles. If this changes, we'll delete
+this code from here, and fix our Makefiles. In the meanwhile, this
+reduces the probability of build problems.
