+Hantek 6022BE firmware
+----------------------
+
+The Hantek 6022BE firmware was originally created by Jochen Hoenicke in
+05/2015 for the Hantek6022API github project by Robert Cope. Full credit
+for the implementation of the firmware goes to Jochen Hoenicke, thanks!
+
+Github project:
+
+  https://github.com/rpcope1/Hantek6022API
+
+We've incorporated the Hantek 6022BE firmware into the sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw
+repo/tarball for convenience of sigrok users. E.g. so that they can
+easily get it with the other fx2lafw firmware files from distro
+packages, the build scripts in sigrok-util automatically build/install
+it, the sigrok Windows installers automatically ship it, the sigrok
+Android APKs automatically ship it, etc. etc.
+
+The files we've integrated into fx2lafw from Hantek6022API were taken from
+the PyHT6022/HantekFirmware/custom directory of that repo, using the state
+as of 03/2016 (the files were last modified in 05/2015, though).
+
+The git hash of the last relevant commit there was:
+
+  0498e2ab239aabb1084c19e1e24faf56764b217e

+ - hw/hantek-6022be/dscr.a51: Copied unmodified.
+
+ - hantek_6022be.c: This file was originally created by appending the
+   contents of the original device.c and fw.c together.
+
+
+Sainsmart DDS120 firmware
+-------------------------
+
+The Sainsmart DDS120 firmware is heavily based upon the original Hantek 6022BE
+firmware, so the items mentioned above apply here as well.

+Copyright and license
