+OCamlDuce licensing details
+---------------------------
+
+OCamlDuce is a merger between two open-source projects: OCaml and
+CDuce. OCaml is licensed under modified QPL (for the compiler) and
+LGPL-2 (for the library), and CDuce is licensed under a MIT-like
+license. The exact terms are in the copyright file.
+
+The source package provides a `patches' directory, with patches
+directly applicable to the sources of ocaml (which are available as a
+binary package in Debian), and a `ocamlduce' directory, that contains
+files mostly taken from CDuce. Patches currently involve only compiler
+parts.
+
+It generates binaries that are modified versions of the ones provided
+by OCaml, with files from `ocamlduce' directory linked in. This should
+be compatible with the QPL.
