+This creates a package out of a closed source component (the console
+application itself) and an open source component (the libraries and
+GUI wrapper). Neither is usable on its own and both are built and/or
+packaged using this script.
+
+This SlackBuild assumes automatic acceptance of the EULA for the closed
+source binary component and parts of the open source component. You
+should read the EULA upon installation at
+/usr/doc/makemkv-$VERSION/eula_en_linux.txt and
+/usr/doc/makemkv-$VERSION/License.txt and uninstall the package if you
+do not agree to its terms. Also note that decrypting encrypted discs
+may be illegal depending on where you live.
+
+Please note that this contains closed-source *commercial* beta software.
+It will remain free (as in beer) throughout the beta, but with a few
+annoyances (unless you pay for a registration key, which should work
+fine with this package):
+
+MakeMKV BETA has several major restrictions.
+
+Program is time-limited -- it will stop functioning after 60 days. You
+can always download the latest version from makemkv.com that will reset
+the expiration date.
+
+HD-DVD support is limited - some discs may fail to open and not all
+audio and subtitle tracks will be preserved.
+
+Blu-ray and DVD discs are fully supported.
+
+Note that usually new registration keys are posted in the official
+MakeMKV forums so that old time-expired MakeMKV versions will still
+work during the beta (so you won't need to immediately upgrade to a
+newer version).
