 ## 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
-important changes. I will maintain this branch until wertarbyte finds the time
-to maintain his branch again.

 ## License information and authors
 
-autorandr was originally written by Stefan Tomanek and not published under any
-Open Source license. He did so far not respond to requests regarding the code's
-license. In this fork, all code has been reimplemented by various authors that
-have agreed to release their code under the terms of the GNU General Public
-License (version 3).
+autorandr is available under the terms of the GNU General Public License
+(version 3).

+## autorandr vs. autorandr.py
+
+The two files `autorandr` and `autorandr.py` are two independent versions of
+autorandr. For now, both are here, but I might move one of both versions into
+its own branch or repository someday. See [bug #7](https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/issues/7)
+for details on why there are two versions around.
+
+The two versions are compatible with respect to the profile format and command
+line parameters, but
+
+* the *Python version* does not support auto-disper
+* the *bash version* does not support changes in available adapters and slightly esoteric configurations (like transformations and reflections)
 
-Note that this license only applies to versions of autorandr from this fork
-that are committed after issue #7 is closed, and versions derived from that
-one. In particular, wertarbyte's original repository is still not OSS.
+Active development in this repository is likely to occur preferably in the
+Python version.
