+Rebuild is an attempt at reimplementing Ken Silverman's Build engine in Rust,
+with the goal of being modular enough to serve as the base for a modern Blood
+source port. The motivation comes from the fact that [BloodGDX][1], the current
+source port being recommended by many, is nonfree, and written in Java.
+
+Additionally, existing source ports such as [EDuke32][2] which are built upon
+Ken Silverman's codebase are filled with legacy cruft and are subject to the
+restrictions of the BUILD license.
