@@ -8,8 +8,13 @@ For most hardware, this would actually amount to just reporting epoc for root,
 as most devices won't directly have users. Applications on those may, but those
 usually have their own user management features.
 
-This patch adds the `-b` option to BusyBox's adduser, and will record a birthday
-in YYYYMMDD format. This can then be used to determine age, and/or the age
-bracket of the user via the standard UNIX shell which serves as the UNIX
-API/ABI, and thus makes BusyBox compliant with the law. The two UNIX commands
-added here are `howoldami` and `useragerange`.
+This file replaces the adduser.c in BusyBox, and it differs from the original in
+offering a `-b` option which will add user's birthday to `/etc/birthdays`. The
+birthday needs to be passed in YYYYMMDD format, and it will be stored as such.
+
+Two example scripts exist here to offer the commands `howoldami` and
+`useragerange` which will provide either the user's age or one of the age ranges
+specified in California's bill. As the standard UNIX interface and signal system
+is plain text, this change to adduser and the accompanying scripts transform the
+BusyBox + Linux system into a compliant operating system for those who require
+it.
