-The Lightweight Java Game Library
+The Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL) is a Java library that enables
+cross-platform access to popular native APIs useful in the development
+of graphics (OpenGL, Vulkan), audio (OpenAL) and parallel computing
+(OpenCL) applications. This access is direct and high-performance, yet
+also wrapped in a type-safe and user-friendly layer, appropriate for the
+Java ecosystem.
+LWJGL is an enabling technology and provides low-level access. It is not
+a framework and does not provide higher-level utilities than what the
+native libraries expose. As such, novice programmers are encouraged to
+try one of the frameworks or game engines that make use of LWJGL, before
+working directly with the library.
+LWJGL is open source software and freely available at no charge.
