+Explicit GL (XGL) Sample Implementation\r
+=======================================\r
+Version 0.1, 1 Sep 2014\r
+\r
+This project provides a sample implementation of an XGL driver running on \r
+Intel's Haswell, IvyBridge and SandyBridge GPUs within the Linux Desktop\r
+Environment. This implementation is being shared with the Khronos community\r
+to provide early insights into the specification of XGL. It is written to\r
+the 0.1 version of the XGL specification, dated 1 Jul 2014. It supports a\r
+subset of the full specification, including:\r
+\r
+       First Triangles with hardcoded shaders\r
+\r
+This work is intended to be released as open source under a BSD-style\r
+license once the XGL specification is public. Until that time, this work\r
+is covered by the Khronos NDA governing the details of the XGL API.\r
+\r
+While this project is being developed by LunarG, Inc; there are many other\r
+companies and individuals making this possible: Valve Software, funding\r
+project development; Intel Corporation, providing full hardware specifications\r
+and valuable technical feedback; AMD, providing XGL spec editor contributions;\r
+ARM, contributing a Chairman for this working group within Khronos; Nvidia,\r
+providing an initial co-editor for the spec; Qualcomm for picking up the\r
+co-editor's chair; and Khronos, for providing hosting within GitHub.\r
+\r
+If you have questions or comments about this driver, please post those to\r
+gl_common@khronos.org; or if you prefer, directly to LunarG via XGL@LunarG.com\r
