+ Following the great history of GNU naming, LAME originally stood for
+ LAME Ain't an Mp3 Encoder. LAME started life as a GPL'd patch against
+ the dist10 ISO demonstration source, and thus was incapable of
+ producing an mp3 stream or even being compiled by itself. But in May
+ 2000, the last remnants of the ISO source code were replaced, and now
+ LAME is the source code for a fully GPL'd MP3 encoder, with speed and
+ quality to rival all commercial competitors.
+
+ LAME is an educational tool to be used for learning about MP3
+ encoding. The goal of the LAME project is to use the open source model
+ to improve the psycho acoustics, noise shaping and speed of
+ MP3. Another goal of the LAME project is to use these improvements for
+ the basis of a patent free audio compression codec for the GNU
+ project."
