+# GC workbench
+
+This repository is a workbench for implementing different GCs. It's a
+scratch space.
+
+## License
+
+GCBench.c, MT_GCBench.c, and MT_GCBench2.c are from
+https://hboehm.info/gc/gc_bench/ and have a somewhat unclear license. I
+have modified GCBench significantly so that I can slot in different GC
+implementations. The GC implementations themselves are available under
+a MIT-style license, the text of which follows:
