Well done!  I've modified it a bit like so:

For the new style inputs.

     (synopsis "Client-side library for iSCSI")
-    (description "Libiscsi is a client-side library to implement

Re-flowed the text in Emacs.

Added explanatory comments for the licenses.

And pushed as bf827d6465.

Thank you!
