- The FreeType Project LICENSE
- ----------------------------
- 2000-Feb-08
+The FreeType 2 font engine is copyrighted work and cannot be used
+legally without a software license. 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.
-
