+Disclaimer's note
+=================
+
+This project provides an obsolete, general-purpose analog TV and camera
+viewer software, kept mostly due to historic reasons and to help debugging
+Linux Kernel V4L2 support.  While it works, there are nowadays much better
+apps for v4l2 devices.
+
+If you find any bugs (security or not), you may send fixup patches to
[email protected], but you may experience a high delay to
+have them handled, as nobody is actively maintaining it anymore.
+
+Use it with your own risk.
