+AboutOss
+==========
+
+AboutOss is an utility library to retrieve and display opensource licenses in Android applications.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+The library works with the [OSS Licenses Gradle Plugin](https://github.com/google/play-services-plugins/tree/master/oss-licenses-plugin). 
+You can integrate it in your application with few simple steps.
+
+### Apply the OSS Licenses Gradle Plugin
+
+In your app-level `build.gradle`, apply the plugin by adding the following line under the existing `apply plugin: 'com.android.application'` at the top of the file:
+
+```build.gradle.kts
+apply plugin: 'com.google.android.gms.oss-licenses-plugin'
+```
+
+### Add the ui library to your application
+
+```build.gradle.kts
+repositories {
+    maven {
+        url = uri("https://jitpack.io")
+    }
+}
+
+dependencies {
+    implementation("com.geekorum.aboutoss:ui-material:0.0.1")
+}
+```
+
+### Launch the license activity
+
+```
+val intent = Intent(this, OpenSourceLicensesActivity::class.java)
+startActivity(intent)
+```
+
