===Introduction===
-Cura is a GPL tool chain to forge a gcode skein for a model. Based on Skeinforge.
-
-The slicing code is the same as Skeinforge. But the UI has been revamped to be... sane.
-
+Cura is a AGPL tool chain to generate a GCode path for 3D printing. Older versions of Cura where based on Skeinforge.
+Versions up from 13.05 are based on a C++ engine called CuraEngine.
