+MIPS optimizations info
+===============================================
+
+MIPS optimizations of codecs are targeting MIPS 74k family of
+CPUs. Some of these optimizations are relying more on properties of
+this architecture and some are relying less (and can be used on most
+MIPS architectures without degradation in performance).
+
+Along with FFMPEG copyright notice, there is MIPS copyright notice in
+all the files that are created by people from MIPS Technologies.
