11Introduction
12============
13
14 The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages;
15 some of them may contain, in addition to the FreeType font engine,
16 various tools and contributions which rely on, or relate to, the
17 FreeType Project.
18
19 This license applies to all files found in such packages, and
20 which do not fall under their own explicit license. The license
21 affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs,
22 documentation and makefiles, at the very least.
23
24 This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG
25 (Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion
26 and use of free software in commercial and freeware products
27 alike. As a consequence, its main points are that:
28
29 o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be
30 interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution)
31
32 o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or
33 full form, without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage)
34
35 o You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use
36 it, or only parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge
37 somewhere in your documentation that you have used the
38 FreeType code. (`credits')
39
40 We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this
41 software, with or without modifications, in commercial products.
42 We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Project and
43 assume no liability related to The FreeType Project.
44
45
46 Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a
47 credit/disclaimer to use in compliance with this license. We thus
48 encourage you to use the following text:
49
50 """
51 Portions of this software are copyright � <year> The FreeType
52 Project (www.freetype.org). All rights reserved.
53 """
54
55 Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you
56 actually use.

59Legal Terms
60===========
61
620. Definitions
63--------------
64
65 Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project',
66 and `FreeType archive' refer to the set of files originally
67 distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and
68 Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType Project', be they named as alpha,
69 beta or final release.
70
71 `You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where
72 `using' is a generic term including compiling the project's source
73 code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'.
74 This program is referred to as `a program using the FreeType
75 engine'.
76
77 This license applies to all files distributed in the original
78 FreeType Project, including all source code, binaries and
79 documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its
80 original, unmodified form as distributed in the original archive.
81 If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by
82 this license, you must contact us to verify this.
83
84 The FreeType Project is copyright (C) 1996-2000 by David Turner,
85 Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. All rights reserved except as
86 specified below.
87
881. No Warranty
89--------------
90
91 THE FREETYPE PROJECT IS PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
92 KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
93 WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
94 PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
95 BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO
96 USE, OF THE FREETYPE PROJECT.
97
982. Redistribution
99-----------------
100
101 This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and
102 irrevocable right and license to use, execute, perform, compile,
103 display, copy, create derivative works of, distribute and
104 sublicense the FreeType Project (in both source and object code
105 forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to
106 authorize others to exercise some or all of the rights granted
107 herein, subject to the following conditions:
108
109 o Redistribution of source code must retain this license file
110 (`FTL.TXT') unaltered; any additions, deletions or changes to
111 the original files must be clearly indicated in accompanying
112 documentation. The copyright notices of the unaltered,
113 original files must be preserved in all copies of source
114 files.
115
116 o Redistribution in binary form must provide a disclaimer that
117 states that the software is based in part of the work of the
118 FreeType Team, in the distribution documentation. We also
119 encourage you to put an URL to the FreeType web page in your
120 documentation, though this isn't mandatory.
121
122 These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on
123 the FreeType Project, not just the unmodified files. If you use
124 our work, you must acknowledge us. However, no fee need be paid
125 to us.
126
1273. Advertising
128--------------
129
130 Neither the FreeType authors and contributors nor you shall use
131 the name of the other for commercial, advertising, or promotional
132 purposes without specific prior written permission.
133
134 We suggest, but do not require, that you use one or more of the
135 following phrases to refer to this software in your documentation
136 or advertising materials: `FreeType Project', `FreeType Engine',
137 `FreeType library', or `FreeType Distribution'.
138
139 As you have not signed this license, you are not required to
140 accept it. However, as the FreeType Project is copyrighted
141 material, only this license, or another one contracted with the
142 authors, grants you the right to use, distribute, and modify it.
143 Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the FreeType
144 Project, you indicate that you understand and accept all the terms
145 of this license.
146
