+This project is a fork of https://github.com/rweather/noise-java. The goal of
+this fork is to make Noise-Java available via common artifact repositories like
+[Maven Central](https://search.maven.org/). Substantive changes will be offered
+as pull requests upstream wherever possible.
+
+To avoid namespace collisions, the group identifier in this project's POM has
+been changed to `org.signal`, though package names within the artifact have not
+changed.
