 <h2>Overview</h2>
 
 <p>
-   The Opus codec is designed for interactive
-   speech and audio transmission over the Internet.
-   It is designed by the IETF Codec Working Group and incorporates technology from Skype's SILK codec and Xiph.Org's CELT codec. 
+Opus is a totally open, royalty-free, highly versatile audio codec. It is primarily
+designed for interactive speech and music transmission over the Internet,
+but is also applicable to storage and streaming applications. It is being
+standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and incorporates
+technology from Skype's SILK codec and Xiph.Org's CELT codec.
