 ## Branch information
 
-The original wertarbyte/autorandr tree seems unmaintained, with lots of open
-pull requests and issues. I forked it and merged what I thought were the most

+## License information and authors
+
+Stefan Tomanek came up with and wrote the initial version of autorandr. He
+currently does not maintain it, and did not express his opinion concerning an
+OSS license in two independent requests. To resolve the licensing issue, all
+non-trivial code in this fork has been reimplemented by various authors that
+have agreed to release their code under the terms of the GNU General Public
+License (version 3).
+
+This license will apply to versions of autorandr from this fork that are
+committed after issue #7 has been resolved, and versions derived from that one.
+**In particular, wertarbyte's original repository is still not OSS, and the current
+version in this repository is neither.**
+
+Contributors to this version of autorandr are:
+
+* Alexander Wirt
+* Chris Dunder
+* Maciej Sitarz
+* Matthew R Johnson
+* Phillip Berndt
+* Timo Bingmann
+* Tomasz Bogdal
+* stormc
+* tachylatus
