+The RT Topology Library exposes an API to create and manage standard
+(ISO 13249 aka SQL/MM) topologies using user-provided data stores and
+released under the GNU GPL license (version 2 or later).
+
+The code is derived from PostGIS liblwgeom library enhanced to provide
+thread-safety, have less dependencies and be independent from PostGIS
+release cycles.
+
+The RT Topology Library was funded by "Regione Toscana - SITA" (CIG:
+6445512CC1), which also funded many improvements in the originating
+liblwgeom.
