+# Bundled HandBrakeCLI
+
+Ripster includes `bin/HandBrakeCLI` as a separately executable third-party
+component. Ripster starts this binary as an external process; the HandBrake
+source code is not part of the original Ripster source code.
+
+HandBrakeCLI is developed by the HandBrake project and is distributed under the
+GNU General Public License version 2 (`GPL-2.0-only`). Ripster's
+`GPL-2.0-or-later` license does not replace or modify the HandBrake license.
+
+The files in this directory document the bundled binary:
+
+- `COPYING`: GPL version 2 license text for HandBrakeCLI.
+- `BUILDINFO.md`: currently known build information and unresolved TODOs.
+- `SHA256SUMS`: checksum for the bundled binary and TODOs for source archive checksums.
+- `DYNAMIC-LIBRARIES.txt`: `ldd` output for the bundled binary.
+- `HARDWARE-ENCODERS.txt`: local inspection notes for hardware and FDK-AAC related strings.
+- `build-handbrake.sh`: reproducibility scaffold for rebuilding the binary.
+- `patches/`: patch publication area.
+- `source/`: corresponding source publication notes.
+
+The complete corresponding source code for the bundled `bin/HandBrakeCLI`
+binary must be made available together with the corresponding Ripster release.
+Unknown values are intentionally marked as `TODO`; they must be resolved before
+publishing a release that redistributes this binary.
