+MDA-SLV2
+--------
+
 This is a port of the MDA VST plugins to LV2.
 
 MDA plugins are originally by Paul Kellett and were released under the GPL
 v2 or later, or the MIT license.  Thanks, Paul!
 
-This port is by Dave Robillard, and is released under the GPL v2.
-See COPYING file for more information.
-
-To port these plugins to LV2, I wrote the missing code blindly in order to
-make things compile and work as an LV2 plugin.  From the previous names I
-assume these missing pieces were part of the VST SDK, but I have never seen,
-or heard about, anything related to the VST SDK whatsoever, at any time, ever.
-
-I have named this implemented wrapper "LVZ" (for LV0).
-It may be useful for porting other GPL VST plugins to native LV2.
-
-This code is 100% Free Software under the GNU General Public License,
-verion 2 or later.
+This port is by Dave Robillard, and is 100% Free Software (including the only
+dependency lv2.h) released under the GPL v2 or later. See COPYING for details.
 
-----
+This port is based on revision 1 of the MDA SVN repository at:
+https://mda-vst.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mda-vst
 
-Original release announcement:
 
-This archive contains the source code for the mda freeware VST 
-plug-ins, with the least restrictive licensing I could find.
+LVZ
+---
 
-Projects are provided for Visual C++ 5, Visual C++ 8, and XCode 2.
-You will need a copy of the VST 2.4 SDK to compile the plug-ins,
-unless you are only interested in the AU versions (kindly ported 
-by Sophia Poirier).  Code for "mda SpecMeter" is included but does
-not compile with any recent version of VSTGUI.  The GUIs for
-"mda Piano" and "mda ePiano" are not included for the same reason,
-and also because nobody really liked them.
+To port these plugins to LV2, I wrote the missing code blindly in order
+to make things compile and work as an LV2 plugins.  The interface (but not
+implementation) of this code is intrinsically similar to the original API
+used by MDA (namely VST), but solely due to the fact that the original MDA
+code was written against this API.
 
-This code is definitely not an example of how to write plug-ins!
-It's obvious that I didn't know much C++ when I started, and some
-of the optimizations might have worked on a 486 processor but are
-not relevant today.  The code is very raw with no niceties like
-parameter de-zipping, but maybe you'll find some useful stuff in
-there.  Hopefully someone will feel like tidying everything up and
-put the code in a more generic format that can be wrapped into any
-current or future plug-in format.
+These plugins make no claim of compatibility, or any other relation, to VST.
+This code does not require the VST SDK, or any other non-free softare.
+This code has never come into contact with any part of the VST SDK.
+I (Dave Robillard) have never come into contact with any part of the VST SDK.
+Clear? :)
