+![emscripten logo](media/switch_logo.jpeg)
+
+Emscripten is an LLVM-to-JavaScript compiler. It takes LLVM bitcode - which can be generated
+from C/C++, using `llvm-gcc` (DragonEgg) or `clang`, or any other language that can be
+converted into LLVM - and compiles that into JavaScript, which can be run on the web (or
+anywhere else JavaScript can run).

+
+License
+-------
+
+Emscripten is available under 2 licenses, the MIT license and the
+University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License.
+
+Both are permissive open source licenses, with little if any
+practical difference between them.
+
+The reason for offering both is that (1) the MIT license is
+well-known, while (2) the University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source
+License allows Emscripten's code to be integrated upstream into
+LLVM, which uses that license, should the opportunity arise.
+
+See `LICENSE` for the full content of the licenses.

+Relooper
+========
+
+This is an optimized C++ implemention of the Relooper algorithm originally developed as part
+of Emscripten. This implementation includes optimizations added since the original academic
+paper [1] - see paper.pdf - was published about it, and is written in an LLVM-friendly way
+with the goal of inclusion in upstream LLVM.
