+This is a Common Lisp implementation of the Encoding for Robust Immutable
+Storage specification (https://purl.org/eris). It implements the version 1.0 of
+the specification.
+
+The code is licensed under the LGPLv3 or any later version, unless specified
+otherwise in a file.
+
+Depends on Alexandria, Ironclad version 0.58+, function-cache, and fiveam for
+the tests.
+
+Until the Ironclad library released version 0.58, you have to use the master
+branch as it contains the necessary patch to add the RFC Chacha variant to
+Ironclad.
+
+TODO:
++ fix the bugs
++ clean up the code
