 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.
