| 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. |
| |
| |
| Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a |
| credit/disclaimer to use in compliance with this license. We thus |
| encourage you to use the following text: |
| |
| """ |
| Portions of this software are copyright © <year> The FreeType |
| Project (www.freetype.org). All rights reserved. |
| """ |
| |
| Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you |
| actually use. |

| Legal Terms |
| =========== |
| |
| 0. 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 contact us to verify this. |
| |
| The FreeType Project is copyright (C) 1996-2000 by David Turner, |
| Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. All rights reserved except as |
| specified below. |
| |
| 1. No Warranty |
| -------------- |
| |
| THE FREETYPE PROJECT IS PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY |
| KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, |
| WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
| PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS |
| BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO |
| USE, OF THE FREETYPE PROJECT. |
| |
| 2. Redistribution |
| ----------------- |
| |
| This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and |
| irrevocable right and license to use, execute, perform, compile, |
| display, copy, create derivative works of, distribute and |
| sublicense the FreeType Project (in both source and object code |
| forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to |
| authorize others to exercise some or all of the rights granted |
| herein, subject to the following conditions: |
| |
| o Redistribution of source code must retain this license file |
| (`FTL.TXT') unaltered; any additions, deletions or changes to |
| the original files must be clearly indicated in accompanying |
| documentation. The copyright notices of the unaltered, |
| original files must be preserved in all copies of source |
| files. |
| |
| o Redistribution in binary form must provide a disclaimer that |
| states that the software is based in part of the work of the |
| FreeType Team, in the distribution documentation. We also |
| encourage you to put an URL to the FreeType web page in your |
| documentation, though this isn't mandatory. |
| |
| These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on |
| the FreeType Project, not just the unmodified files. If you use |
| our work, you must acknowledge us. However, no fee need be paid |
| to us. |
| |
| 3. Advertising |
| -------------- |
| |
| Neither the FreeType authors and contributors nor you shall use |
| the name of the other for commercial, advertising, or promotional |
| purposes without specific prior written permission. |
| |
| We suggest, but do not require, that you use one or more of the |
| following phrases to refer to this software in your documentation |
| or advertising materials: `FreeType Project', `FreeType Engine', |
| `FreeType library', or `FreeType Distribution'. |
| |
| As you have not signed this license, you are not required to |
| accept it. However, as the FreeType Project is copyrighted |
| material, only this license, or another one contracted with the |
| authors, grants you the right to use, distribute, and modify it. |
| Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the FreeType |
| Project, you indicate that you understand and accept all the terms |
| of this license. |
