The  FreeType 2  font  engine is  copyrighted  work and  cannot be  used
legally  without a  software license.   In  order to  make this  project
usable  to a vast  majority of  developers, we  distribute it  under two
mutually exclusive licenses.

This means  that *you*  must choose *one*  license of the  two described
below, then obey  all its terms and conditions when  using FreeType 2 in
any of your projects or products.

  - The  FreeType License,  found in  the  file "FTL.TXT",  which is  an
    BSD-style  open-source  license *with*  an  advertising clause  that
    forces  you  to  explicitely  cite  the  FreeType  project  in  your
    product's documentation.  All details are in the license file.

  - The GNU  General Public  License, found in  "GPL.TXT", which  is the
    traditionnal and "viral" GPL license that forces you to redistribute
    the _complete_ sources of all your products that use FreeType 2.

Note that  the contributed  PCF driver comes  with a license  similar to
that of  X Window System which  is compatible to the  above two licenses
(see file src/pcf/readme).
