jemalloc is a general-purpose scalable concurrent malloc(3) implementation.
+This distribution is a stand-alone "portable" implementation that currently
+targets only Linux. jemalloc is included as the default allocator in the
+FreeBSD and NetBSD operating systems, and it is used by the Mozilla Firefox web
+browser on Microsoft Windows-related platforms. Depending on your needs, one
+of the other divergent versions may suit your needs better than this
+distribution.
+
+The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information.
The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install
jemalloc.
