+# PythonQt
+[![License](https://img.shields.io/github/license/mevislab/pythonqt.svg?color=blue)](LICENSE)
+
+PythonQt is a dynamic [Python](http://www.python.org) binding for [Qt](https://www.qt.io).
+It offers an easy way to embed the Python scripting language into
+your Qt applications. 
+
+# Documentation
+API documentation is available at: https://mevislab.github.io/pythonqt
+
+# Licensing
+PythonQt is distributed under the `LGPL 2.1` license.
+
+## Licensing of Generator
+The build system of PythonQt makes use of a patched version of the LGPL'ed QtScript
+generator, located in the `generator` directory.
+
+See the `LICENSE.LGPL` file in the generator subdirectory for details.
+Copyright (C) 2009 Nokia Corporation and/or its subsidiary(-ies)
+
+See http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-labs/qtscriptgenerator for the original project.
+The PythonQt wrappers generated by the generator are distributed under the `LGPL`
+as well.
+
+The generated wrappers are pre-generated and checked-in, so you only
+need to build and run the generator when you want to build additional wrappers
+or you want to upgrade/downgrade to another Qt version, but this requires
+updating the typesystems as well.
