+This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
+database management system.
+
+PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
+that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
+transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
+and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings.
+
+PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:
+
+ https://www.postgresql.org/download/
+
+See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
+PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and
+hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
+software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
+system. Copyright and license information can be found in the
+file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
+distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
+instructions.

+The latest version of this software may be obtained at
