+
+<p>GUPnP is an object-oriented open source framework for creating UPnP devices and control points,
+written in C using GObject and libsoup. The GUPnP API is intended to be easy to use, efficient and
+flexible.</p>
+
+<p>The GUPnP framework consists of the following libraries:</p>
+
+<list>
+
+<item><p>GSSDP: The low-level library implementing resource discovery and announcement on the
+network through SSDP protocol.</p></item>
+
+<item><p>GUPnP: The core library that implements the UPnP specification: resource announcement and
+discovery, description, control, event notification, and presentation (GUPnP includes basic web
+server functionality through libsoup). GUPnP does not include helpers for construction or control of
+specific standardized resources (e.g. MediaServer); this is left for higher level libraries
+utilizing the GUPnP framework.</p></item>
+
+<item><p>GUPnP A/V: A small utility library that aims to ease the handling and implementation of
+UPnP A/V profiles.</p></item>
+
+<item><p>GUPnP DLNA: A small utility library that aims to ease the DLNA-related tasks such as media
+profile guessing, transcoding to a given profile, etc.</p></item>
+
+<item><p>GUPnP Tools are free replacements of Intel UPnP tools that use GUPnP. They provides the
+following client and server side tools which enable one to easily test and debug one's UPnP devices
+and control points:</p>
+
+<list>
+
+<item><p>Universal Control Point: a tool that enables one to discover UPnP devices and services,
+retrieve information about them, subscribe to events and invoke actions.</p></item>
+
+<item><p>Network Light: a virtual light bulb that allows control points to switch it on and off,
+change its dimming level and query its current status. It also provides a simple UI to control all
+the network lights available on the network.</p></item>
+
+<item><p>AV Control Point: a simple media player UI that enables one to discover and play multimedia
+contents available on a network. It is strictly a control point and therefore does not have any
+playback capabilities of it's own and relies on external UPnP MediaRenderer devices for actual
+playback.</p></item>
+
+<item><p>Upload: a simple commandline utility that uploads files to known MediaServers. Use
+Universal Control Point for discovering the MediaServers.</p></item>
+
+</list>
+
+</item>
+
+</list>
+
+<p>The GUPnP framework was born out of frustration with libupnp and its mess of threads. GUPnP is
+entirely single-threaded (though asynchronous), integrates with the GLib main loop, and provides the
+same set of features as libupnp while hiding most of the UPnP internals through an elegant
+object-oriented design.</p>
+
+<p>GUPnP is free software. All libraries are released under the GNU LGPL, while GUPnP Tools are
+licensed under GNU GPL.</p>
