+Contains the stock libreoffice licensing blurb, as distributed in the install
+directory, and also potentially at run-time.
+
+Generating licence files
+------------------------
+
+License files are generated from a single source file (license/license.xml).
+Output file formats are plain text and html.
+
+- The plain text and the html format is generated with xslt. There are two
+  separate xsl files for plain text and html.
+
+Conditional text
+----------------
+
+The contents of the license file depends on the build configuration. Several
+externals may or may not be shipped with LibreOffice. Therefore, we need to pass
+information about build configuration to the xslt processor.
+
+Variables used for conditional text:
+
+- BUILD_TYPE: A space separated list of libraries/externals. If an external is
+  present in that list, then the related license text should be included.
+
+- MPL_SUBSET: If the variable is defined, then GPL and LGPL license text will not
+  be included, because none of the built-in code need it.
+
+- OS: The target platform. E.g. MSVC Runtime is packaged and used only on Windows.
+
+- WITH_THEMES: A space separated list of icon sets that are used in the build.
+
+Conditional text are surrounded by and extra <div> tag. The class attribute of
+that <div> tag decides which parameter values are taken into consideration.
