 # PSn00bSDK
 
 PSn00bSDK is a 100% free and open source SDK project for the original Sony
-PlayStation for developing homebrew applications and games for the console
-100% freely. This SDK can be used for freeware, commercial, and open source
-homebrew projects.
-
-The SDK is composed mainly of libraries (`libpsn00b`) and some utilities that
-provide a basic framework for developing software for the PlayStation hardware,
-the compiler is separate (GCC) and should be acquired from GNU. The library API
-is intentionally written to resemble the library API of the official libraries
-as closely as possible. This design decision is not only for familiarity
-reasons to experienced programmers, but also so that existing sample code and
-tutorials would still apply to this SDK, as well as making the process of
-porting over existing homebrew originally made with official SDKs easier with
-minimal modification, provided it doesn't use `libgs`.
+PlayStation for developing homebrew applications and games for the console.
+This SDK may be used for freeware, commercial, and open source homebrew
+projects as far as what the SDK currently supports. Out of all the open
+source PS1 SDK projects that have come and gone from active development
+over the years, PSn00bSDK is arguably the most capable of them all.
+
+Much of the SDK is merely just a set of libraries (`libpsn00b`) and some
+utilities for converting executables and data files to formats more usable
+on the target platform. The compiler used is just the standard GNU GCC
+toolchain compiled to target mipsel and has to be acquired separately.
+The library API was deliberately written to resemble the library API of the
+official libraries as closely as possible not only for familiarity reasons
+to experienced programmers but also so that existing sample code and tutorials
+that have been written over the years would still apply to this SDK, as well
+as making the process of porting over existing homebrew originally made with
+official SDKs easier with minimal modificationn provided they do not depend
+on libgs.
 
 PSn00bSDK is currently a work in progress and cannot really be considered
-production ready, but what is currently implemented should be enough to produce
-some interesting homebrew with the SDK, especially with its extensive support
-for the GPU and GTE hardware. There's no reason not to fully support hardware
-features of a target platform when said hardware features have been fully
-documented for years (nocash's PSX specs document in this case).

-## Usage terms (or lack thereof)
-
-PSn00bSDK falls under the terms and conditions of the Mozilla Public License. A
-quick summary of this license is that PSn00bSDK can be used freely in both free
-and open source projects and commercial closed source projects as projects
-using PSn00bSDK does not necessarily have to follow the MPL as well.
-
-If modifications to the SDK were made as part of the development of such
-projects that enhance its functionality, such changes must be contributed back
-in return.
+## Credits
 
-Homebrew made with PSn00bSDK may not be released under 'annoyingmous'. Although
-there's nothing that would enforce it, this term may as well be ignored despite
-it annoying this SDK's author.
