+NX development by ArcticaProject and X2Go
+-----------------------------------------
+
+This source tree started as a re-distribution of those NX packages needed
+to setup FreeNX and/or X2Go on a Linux server.
+
+The NX re-distribution (3.5.0.x) has been maintained by the X2Go Project:
+http://wiki.x2go.org
+
+Since 2015, the Arctica Project has joined in the NX development. The
+core devs of X2Go and Arctica have agreed on stopping to redistribute
+NX and instead of that: continue the development of NX 3.x as new
+upstream (starting with NX 3.5.99).
+
+Our goal is: 
+    - provide _one_ tarball that builds NX projects via a common Makefile
+    - provide _one_ tarball for distribution packagers
+    - provide support for security issues
+    - provide support for latest X11 extensions
+    - improve NX where possible
+
+This source tree is maintained on Github:
+
+  https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs (3.6.x branch)
+
+
+If you have any questions about this NX development or want to file  a
+bug, then please contact the Arctica or the X2Go developers via the
+Github issue tracker.
