+tree is 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
 
-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.**
+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)
+
+Active development in this repository is likely to occur preferably in the
+Python version.
