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