+Hello hacker!
+
+The tools used in this repository are used by the team of ungleich
+(www.ungleich.ch) to maintain servers and data centers.
+
+A special data center that we maintain and that most tools are written
+for is the Data Center Light (www.datacenterlight.ch).
+
+As we are truly dedicated and committed to open source, we are trying
+to release *everything* open source that we can (even if not
+everything is yet directly usable by others).
+
+Feel free to clone, use, distribute the code according to GPLv3+
+licensing.
+
+Best,
+
+team ungleich
