+This directory contains a set of FreeRTOS.org ports and demo applications that \r
+have not yet been adopted into the official FreeRTOS.org release. The files \r
+are supplied within .zip archives exactly as they were sent to me. They have\r
+not been tested or verified by either myself or WITTENSTEIN (the official \r
+commercial partner) so are provided as is and without support.\r
+\r
+The files contained within each .zip file vary, some contain all the files\r
+required to run a port demo, while other require adding to the standard .zip\r
+download directory tree.\r
+\r
+Some .zip files contain ports and demos that are based on historic versions of\r
+FreeRTOS.org.\r
+\r
+Please note that some .zip files contain copies of the lwIP TCP/IP stack, and \r
+where this is the case users must be aware that lwIP is licensed separately from\r
+FreeRTOS.org. The lwIP license can be viewed here:\r
+http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lwip/ .\r

+Many thanks to all contributors.\r
