The license 25 affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs, 26 documentation and makefiles, at the very least. 27 28 This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG 29 (Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion 30 and use of free software in commercial and freeware products 31 alike. As a consequence, its main points are that: 32 33 o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be 34 interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution) 35 36 o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or 37 full form, without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage) 38 39 o You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use 40 it, or only parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge 41 somewhere in your documentation that you have used the 42 FreeType code. (`credits') 43 44 We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this 45 software, with or without modifications, in commercial products. 46 We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Project and 47 assume no liability related to The FreeType Project. 48 49 50 Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a 51 credit/disclaimer to use in compliance with this license. We thus 52 encourage you to use the following text: 53 54 """ 55 Portions of this software are copyright � <year> The FreeType 56 Project (www.freetype.org). All rights reserved. 57 """ 58 59 Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you 60 actually use. 61 62 63Legal Terms 64=========== 65 660. Definitions 67-------------- 68 69 Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project', 70 and `FreeType archive' refer to the set of files originally 71 distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and 72 Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType Project', be they named as alpha, 73 beta or final release. 74 75 `You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where 76 `using' is a generic term including compiling the project's source 77 code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'. 78 This program is referred to as `a program using the FreeType 79 engine'. 80 81 This license applies to all files distributed in the original 82 FreeType Project, including all source code, binaries and 83 documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its 84 original, unmodified form as distributed in the original archive. 85 If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by 86 this license, you must contact us to verify this. 87 88 The FreeType Project is copyright (C) 1996-2000 by David Turner, 89 Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg.

Redistribution 103----------------- 104 105 This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and 106 irrevocable right and license to use, execute, perform, compile, 107 display, copy, create derivative works of, distribute and 108 sublicense the FreeType Project (in both source and object code 109 forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to 110 authorize others to exercise some or all of the rights granted 111 herein, subject to the following conditions: 112 113 o Redistribution of source code must retain this license file 114 (`FTL.TXT') unaltered; any additions, deletions or changes to 115 the original files must be clearly indicated in accompanying 116 documentation.

We also 123 encourage you to put an URL to the FreeType web page in your 124 documentation, though this isn't mandatory. 125 126 These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on 127 the FreeType Project, not just the unmodified files.

Advertising 132-------------- 133 134 Neither the FreeType authors and contributors nor you shall use 135 the name of the other for commercial, advertising, or promotional 136 purposes without specific prior written permission. 137 138 We suggest, but do not require, that you use one or more of the 139 following phrases to refer to this software in your documentation 140 or advertising materials: `FreeType Project', `FreeType Engine', 141 `FreeType library', or `FreeType Distribution'. 142 143 As you have not signed this license, you are not required to 144 accept it. However, as the FreeType Project is copyrighted 145 material, only this license, or another one contracted with the 146 authors, grants you the right to use, distribute, and modify it. 147 Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the FreeType 148 Project, you indicate that you understand and accept all the terms 149 of this license. 150 1514.
