+Bosix is a single binary that provides standards-conformant implementations
+of all commands specified by POSIX (eventually). It is similar in this
+respect to BusyBox, with two major differences:
+
+1. Tools are direct imports of commands from UNG, which are aimed at providing
+precisely conformant funcionality without superflous extension (notably, there
+are no GNU-style long options or needless colorization).
+
+2. Bosix is licensed under the MIT License, so it can be used as a basis for
+larger works without worrying about GPL requirements.
+
+Bosix is a work-in-progress inasmuch as it depends on the UNG implementation
+of tools, many of which are works in progress. \ No newline at end of file
