+              Apache iota is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the name of
+              Apache TLP sponsor. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the
+              infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful
+              ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code,
+              it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.</p>
