+Many PKGBUILDs and associated files were originally imported
+from other projects, such as:
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+| Project | "Maintainer (upstream):" identifier |
+|-------------------------------------------------------------|
+| Archlinux | (arch) |
+| Archlinux32 | (arch32) |
+| ArchlinuxARM | (archarm) |
+| Artix | (artix) |
+| Arch User repository | (aur) |
+| Gentoo | n/a |
+| Hyperbola | (hyperbola) |
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+These typically come without a license, so while most of them seem to
+be uncopyrightable, due to their extreme simplicity and standardness,
+this still creates some legal uncertaincy about their licensing.
+
+Several PKGBUILDs and associated files in this repository were
+created from scratch for the Parabola GNU/Linux-libre project,
+so they don't depend on other projects licensing decisions.
+
+Several contributors have agreed to license their past contributions
+to this repository, under the CC0 license:
+
+--------------------------------------
+| Name | Hacker ID |
+|------------------------------------|
+| Andreas Grapentin | (oaken-source) |
+| Bill Auger | (bill-auger) |
+| Denis Carikli | (gnutoo) |
+| Freemor | (freemor) |
+| Joseph Graham | (xylon) |
+| Omar Vega Ramos | (ovruni) |
+| Luke Shumaker | (lukeshu) |
+| David Pizarro | (megver83) |
+--------------------------------------
+
+As for patches, as they are combined with, or otherwise contributed to,
+upstream project source code, they are taken under the same license
+as the original project, per the inbound<->outbound convention.
+
+All contributions to this repository, from Parabola team members and users,
+must be offered under the CC0 license.
