+cryptography needed for working with Bitcoin (secp256k1 only for now).  It is
+designed so that it may be used with the standard crypto/ecdsa packages
+provided with Go.  A comprehensive suite of test is provided to ensure proper
+functionality.  Package @command{btcec} was originally based on work from
+ThePiachu which is licensed under the same terms as Go, but it has
+signficantly diverged since then.  The @command{btcsuite} developers original
+is licensed under the liberal ISC license.
+
+Although this package was primarily written for btcd, it has intentionally
+been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects
+needing to use secp256k1 elliptic curve cryptography.")
