Maximum entropy on a finite alphabet ($H(X)\le {\log }_{2}m$)

An information entropy on at most $m$ outcomes is at most ${\log }_{2}m$, with equality for the uniform distribution on all $m$ outcomes. For the uniform reference $u$, the Kullback-Leibler divergence is $D(p\Vert u)={\log }_{2}m-H(p)\ge 0$, proving the bound.
