The FreeType Project LICENSE

2000-Feb-08

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 make files, 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:

 We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be interested in any kind

of bug reports. (`as is' distribution)

 You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form, without having

to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage)

 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.

Legal Terms

Definitions

Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project', and `FreeType archive'

refer to the set of files originally distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm,

and Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType Project', be they named as alpha, beta or final

release.

`You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where `using' is a generic term

including compiling the project's source code as well as linking it to form a `program' or

`executable'. This program is referred to as `a program using the FreeType engine'.

This license applies to all files distributed in the original FreeType Project, including all

source code, binaries and documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its original,

unmodified form as distributed in the original archive.

If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by this license, you must
