1The FreeType Project LICENSE 2 32006-Jan-27 4 5Copyright 1996-2002, 2006 by David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg 6 7Introduction 8 9The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages; some of them 10may contain, in addition to the FreeType font engine, various tools and 11contributions which rely on, or relate to, the FreeType Project. 12 13This license applies to all files found in such packages, and which do not 14fall under their own explicit license. The license affects thus the FreeType 15font engine, the test programs, documentation and makefiles, at the very 16least. 17 18This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG (Independent JPEG 19Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion and use of free software in 20commercial and freeware products alike. As a consequence, its main points are 21that: 22 23o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be 24interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution) 25 26o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form, 27without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage) 28 29o You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it, or only 30parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your 31documentation that you have used the FreeType code. (`credits') 32 33We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this software, with or 34without modifications, in commercial products. We disclaim all warranties 35covering The FreeType Project and assume no liability related to The FreeType 36Project. 37 38Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a credit/disclaimer to 39use in compliance with this license. We thus encourage you to use the 40following text: 41 42""" Portions of this software are copyright © <year> The FreeType Project 43(www.freetype.org). All rights reserved. """ 44 45Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you actually 46use. 47 48Legal Terms 49 500. Definitions 51 52Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project', 53and `FreeType archive' refer to the set of files originally distributed 54by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg) as the 55`FreeType Project', be they named as alpha, beta or final release. 56 57`You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where 58`using' is a generic term including compiling the project's source 59code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'. This 60program is referred to as `a program using the FreeType engine'. 61 62This license applies to all files distributed in the original FreeType 63Project, including all source code, binaries and documentation, unless 64otherwise stated in the file in its original, unmodified form as distributed 65in the original archive. If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is 66covered by this license, you must contact us to verify this. 67 68The FreeType Project is copyright (C) 1996-2000 by David Turner, Robert 69Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg.
