+      GNU Radio is a free & open-source software development toolkit that
+      provides signal processing blocks to implement software radios. It can be
+      used with readily-available low-cost external RF hardware to create
+      software-defined radios, or without hardware in a simulation-like
+      environment. It is widely used in hobbyist, academic and commercial
+      environments to support both wireless communications research and
+      real-world radio systems.
