In order to make this project +usable to a vast majority of developers, we distribute it under two +mutually exclusive open-source licenses. - Copyright 1996-2002 by - David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg +This means that *you* must choose *one* of the two licenses described +below, then obey all its terms and conditions when using FreeType 2 in +any of your projects or products. - Minor editings 2001-Mar-01 + - The FreeType License, found in the file `FTL.TXT', 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 `GPL.TXT' (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. +The contributed PCF driver comes with a license similar to that of the X +Window System. It is compatible to the above two licenses (see file +src/pcf/readme). -Introduction -============ - The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages; - some of them may contain, in addition to the FreeType font engine, - various tools and contributions which rely on, or relate to, the - FreeType Project. - - This license applies to all files found in such packages, and - which do not fall under their own explicit license. The license - affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs, - documentation and makefiles, at the very least. - - This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG - (Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion - and use of free software in commercial and freeware products - alike. As a consequence, its main points are that: - - o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be - interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution) - - o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or - full form, without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage) - - o You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use - it, or only parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge - somewhere in your documentation that you have used the - FreeType code. (`credits') - - We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this - software, with or without modifications, in commercial products. - We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Project and - assume no liability related to The FreeType Project. - - -Legal Terms -=========== - -0. Definitions --------------- - - Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project', - and `FreeType archive' refer to the set of files originally - distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and - Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType Project', be they named as alpha, - beta or final release. - - `You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where - `using' is a generic term including compiling the project's source - code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'. - This program is referred to as `a program using the FreeType - engine'. - - This license applies to all files distributed in the original - FreeType Project, including all source code, binaries and - documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its - original, unmodified form as distributed in the original archive. - If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by - this license, you must contact us to verify this. - - The FreeType Project is copyright (C) 1996-2002 by David Turner, - Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. All rights reserved except as - specified below. - -1. No Warranty --------------- - - THE FREETYPE PROJECT IS PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY - KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, - WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR - PURPOSE.

Redistribution ------------------ - - This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and - irrevocable right and license to use, execute, perform, compile, - display, copy, create derivative works of, distribute and - sublicense the FreeType Project (in both source and object code - forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to - authorize others to exercise some or all of the rights granted - herein, subject to the following conditions: - - o Redistribution of source code must retain this license file - unaltered; any additions, deletions or changes to the original - files must be clearly indicated in accompanying documentation. - The copyright notices of the unaltered, original files must be - preserved in all copies of source files. - - o Redistribution in binary form must provide a disclaimer that - states that the software is based in part of the work of the - FreeType Team, in the distribution documentation.

If you use - our work, you must acknowledge us. However, no fee need be paid - to us. - -3. Advertising --------------- - - Neither the FreeType authors and contributors nor you shall use - the name of the other for commercial, advertising, or promotional - purposes without specific prior written permission. - - We suggest, but do not require, that you use one or more of the - following phrases to refer to this software in your documentation - or advertising materials: `FreeType Project', `FreeType Engine', - `FreeType library', or `FreeType Distribution'. - - As you have not signed this license, you are not required to - accept it. However, as the FreeType Project is copyrighted - material, only this license, or another one contracted with the - authors, grants you the right to use, distribute, and modify it. - Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the FreeType - Project, you indicate that you understand and accept all the terms - of this license. - -4.
