+Tvix
+====
+
+For more information about Tvix, contact one of the project owners. We
+are interested in people who would like to help us review designs,
+brainstorm and describe requirements that we may not yet have
+considered.
+
+## License structure
+
+All code implemented for Tvix is licensed under the GPL-3.0, with the
+exception of the protocol buffer definitions used for communication
+between services which are available under a more permissive license
+(MIT).
+
+The idea behind this structure is that any direct usage of our code
+(e.g. linking to it, embedding the evaluator, etc.) will fall under
+the terms of the GPL3, but users are free to implement their own
+components speaking these protocols under the terms of the MIT
+license.
