+GUPnP Tools
+===========
+
+GUPnP is an object-oriented open source framework for creating UPnP devices and
+control points, written in C using GObject and libsoup. The GUPnP API is
+intended to be easy to use, efficient and flexible.
+
+GUPnP Tools are free replacements of Intel UPnP tools that use GUPnP. They
+provides the following client and server side tools which enable one to easily
+test and debug one's UPnP devices and control points:
+
+  * Universal Control Point: a tool that enables one to discover UPnP devices
+    and services, retrieve information about them, subscribe to events and
+    invoke actions.
+
+  * Network Light: a virtual light bulb that allows control points to switch
+    it on and off, change its dimming level and query its current status. It
+    also provides a simple UI to control all the network lights available on
+    the network.
+
+  * AV Control Point: a simple media player UI that enables one to discover and
+    play multimedia contents available on a network. It is strictly a control
+    point and therefore does not have any playback capabilities of it's own and
+    relies on external UPnP MediaRenderer devices for actual playback.
+
+  * Upload: a simple commandline utility that uploads files to known
+    MediaServers. Use Universal Control Point for discovering the MediaServers.
