+About SCons
+-----------
+
+This is SCons, a tool for building software (and other files).  SCons is
+implemented in Python, and its "configuration files" are actually Python
+scripts, allowing you to use the full power of a real scripting language
+to solve build problems.  You do not, however, need to know Python to
+use SCons effectively.
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+Documentation for SCons is available at:
+
+        http://www.scons.org/documentation.html
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+Running SCons requires Python 3.5 or higher. There should be no other
+dependencies or requirements to run SCons, although the pywin32 Python
+package is strongly recommended if running on Windows systems.
+
+
+By default, SCons knows how to search for available programming tools on
+various systems--see the SCons man page for details.  You may, of course,
+override the default SCons choices made by appropriate configuration of
+Environment construction variables.
+
+

+=========

+SCons is distributed under the MIT license, a full copy of which is available
