 Requirements
 ============
 
-- The project must build zlib using exclusively the source files from
-  the official zlib distribution.
+- The project must build zlib using the source files from the official
+  zlib source distribution, exclusively.
 
-- If there are "official" makefiles in the zlib distribution, the builds
-  given by the makefiles must be compatible with the builds given by the
-  project.  These builds are called "official" builds.
+- If the project produces redistributable builds (e.g. shared objects
+  or DLL files), these builds must be compatible to those produced by
+  makefiles, if such makefiles exist in the zlib distribution.
+  In particular, if the project produces a DLL build for the Win32
+  platform, this build must comply to the officially-ammended Win32 DLL
+  Application Binary Interface (ABI), described in win32/DLL_FAQ.txt.
 
-- It is possible to add non-official pieces of code to the project,
-  if the resulting build remains compatible with an official build.
-  For example, it is possible to add an "ASM build" target besides
-  the regular target, by including ASM source files from the contrib
-  directory.
+- The project may provide additional build targets, which depend on
+  3rd-party (unofficially-supported) software, present in the contrib
+  directory.  For example, it is possible to provide an "ASM build",
+  besides the officially-supported build, and have ASM source files
+  among its dependencies.
 
 - If there are significant differences between the project files created
   by different versions of an IDE (e.g. Visual C++ 6.0 vs. 7.0), the name
