+NetSurf Project
+===============
+
+The NetSurf project is developing a document browser for the World
+Wide Web. It was started in 2002 on the RISC OS platform and has
+support for numerous operating systems and graphical toolkits.
+
+NetSurf is very modular and built from many component libraries which
+provide functionality from GIF image format decoding (libnsgif) to
+HTML document object model handling (libdom).
+
+NetSurf browser is open source and is licensed under the GPLv2 (with
+OpenSSL exception). Many of the supporting libraries are under a MIT
+licence.
+
+The [main website](http://www.netsurf-browser.org/) contains links to
+other resources and additional information.
