-HarfBuzz is distributed under two mutually exclusive open-source licenses.
-This means  that *you* must choose  *one* of the  two licenses  described
-below, then obey  all its  terms and conditions when  using  HarfBuzz  in
-any of your projects or products.
-
-  - The FreeType License, found in the file `COPYING.FTL', which is similar to
-    the original BSD license *with* an advertising clause that forces you  to
-    explicitly cite  the  FreeType  project  in your  product's documentation.
-    All  details are in the license  file.  This license is  suited  to
-    products  which  don't  use  the GNU  General  Public License.
-
-  - The GNU  General Public License  version 2, found in  `COPYING.GPL' (any
-    later version can be used  also), for programs which already use the GPL.
-    Note  that the  FTL is  incompatible with the  GPL due  to its
-    advertisement clause.
