+OP-TEE
+=======
+
+This is the repository of OP-TEE (Open Portable Trusted Execution Environment),
+the open-source TEE maintained by Linaro, with initial contributions from
+STMicroelectronics, Ericsson and Linaro Limited.
+
+What OP-TEE is
+------
+
+OP-TEE is designed primarily to rely on the ARM TrustZone(R) technology as the
+underlying hardware isolation mechanism. However, it has been structured to be
+compatible with any isolation technology suitable for the TEE concept and goals,
+such as running as a virtual machine or on a dedicated CPU.
+
+The main design goals for OP-TEE are:
+- Isolation - the TEE provides isolation from the Rich OS (typically,
+ Linux/Android) and it protects the Trusted Applications (TAs) it
+ executes from each other, using underlying HW support,
+- Small footprint - the TEE should remain small enough so that the TEE
+ core, including all the code and data required to provide isolation, can
+ reside in a reasonable amount of on-chip memory,
+- Portability - the TEE must be easily pluggable to different
+ architectures and available HW, and it has to support various setups
+ such as multiple TEEs or multiple client OSes.
+
+Repository structure
+------
+
+OP-TEE is composed of three gits:
+- The optee-client git, containing the source code for the TEE client
+ library in Linux. This component provides the TEE Client API as defined
+ by the <a href="https://www.globalplatform.org/specificationsdevice.asp">GlobalPlatform
+ TEE standard</a>. It is distributed under the BSD 2-clause open-source license.
+- The optee_os git, containing the source code for the TEE OS itself. This
+ component provides the TEE Internal APIs as defined by the
+ GlobalPlatform TEE standard to the Trusted Applications that it
+ executes. It is distributed mostly under the BSD 2-clause open-source
+ license. It includes few external files under BSD 3-clause license or
+ other free software licenses.
+- The optee_linuxdriver git, containing the source code for the TEE driver
+ in Linux. This component implements a generic TEE driver, designed
+ primarily for TEE implementations that rely on the ARM
+ TrustZone(R)technology. It is distributed under the GPLv2 open-source
+ license. Please note that re-distribution under other versions of the
+ GPL license is not allowed. The rationale behind this limitation is to
+ ensure that this code may be used on products which have security
+ devices which prevent reloading the code. Such security devices would be
+ incompatible with some licenses such as GPLv3 and so distribution under
+ those licenses would be inconsistent with this goal. Therefore it is
+ recommended that care be taken before redistributing any of the
+ components under other license terms than those provided here.
+
+Contributions
+------
+
+Contributions to OP-TEE are managed by the OP-TEE gatekeepers, whose contact
+email is op-tee[at]linaro[.]org.
+
+Anyone can contribute to OP-TEE as long as it is understood that it will require
+a Signed-off-by tag in the patch and when adding the Signed-off-by tag, you
+thereby assure that you have read and are following the rules stated in the
+`Developer Certificate of Origin` as stated below.
