+IMPORTANT:
+
+This license has some dubious provisions and is nonfree. In
+particular, the nonviolence provision, despite good
+intentions is bad news for a permissive or free license.
+Vaguely worded in the copyright legal sense. The "bruising
+egos" note doesn't have legal value and doesn't belong in a
+license to begin with.
+
+The "competing library" clause is just bad news for an
+non-viral implicit grant...
+
+In case you want to get rid of it as dependency, delete
+`libopentrack-tracker-wii' from your `modules` directory.
+That'll get rid of all uses of this library, and the license
+will no longer be in force.
+
+When building opentrack from source, you can also add
+add `if(FALSE) as the first line of
+`tracker-wii/CMakeLists.txt` and `endif()` as the last line.
+That will prevent building the library altogether, making the
+license also not apply.
+
+In plain terms, deleting `libopentrack-tracker-wii` will get
+rid of ALL references to the WiiYourself library. The terms
+will be null and void in that build.
+
+I hope the license only applies when the code is actually
+used, not merely linked into a process.
