+
+The system/ directory is intended for pieces of the world that are the
+core of the embedded linux platform at the heart of Android.  These
+essential bits are required for basic booting, operation, and debugging.
+
+They should not depend on libraries outside of system/... (some of them
+do currently -- they need to be updated or changed) and they should not
+be required for the simulator build.
+
+The license for all these pieces should be clean (Apache2, BSD, or MIT).
+
+Currently system/bluetooth/... and system/extra/... have some pieces
+with GPL/LGPL licensed code.
+
+Assorted Issues:
+
+- pppd depends on libutils for logging
+- pppd depends on libcrypt/libcrypto
+- init, linker, debuggerd, toolbox, usbd depend on libcutils
+- should probably rename bionic to libc
