1FREETYPE LICENSES 2----------------- 3 4The FreeType 2 font engine is copyrighted work and cannot be used 5legally without a software license. In order to make this project 6usable to a vast majority of developers, we distribute it under two 7mutually exclusive open-source licenses. 8 9This means that *you* must choose *one* of the two licenses described 10below, then obey all its terms and conditions when using FreeType 2 in 11any of your projects or products. 12 13 - The FreeType License, found in the file `docs/FTL.TXT`, which is 14 similar to the original BSD license *with* an advertising clause 15 that forces you to explicitly cite the FreeType project in your 16 product's documentation. All details are in the license file. 17 This license is suited to products which don't use the GNU General 18 Public License. 19 20 Note that this license is compatible to the GNU General Public 21 License version 3, but not version 2. 22 23 - The GNU General Public License version 2, found in 24 `docs/GPLv2.TXT` (any later version can be used also), for 25 programs which already use the GPL. Note that the FTL is 26 incompatible with GPLv2 due to its advertisement clause. 27 28The contributed BDF and PCF drivers come with a license similar to 29that of the X Window System. It is compatible to the above two 30licenses (see files `src/bdf/README` and `src/pcf/README`). The same 31holds for the source code files `src/base/fthash.c` and 32`include/freetype/internal/fthash.h`; they wer part of the BDF driver 33in earlier FreeType versions. 34 35The gzip module uses the zlib license (see `src/gzip/zlib.h`) which 36too is compatible to the above two licenses. 37 38The MD5 checksum support (only used for debugging in development 39builds) is in the public domain. 40 41 42--- end of LICENSE.TXT --- 43
