Copyright 1996-2002, 2006 by David Turner, Robert Wilhelm,
and Werner Lemberg
Introduction
============
The FreeType
Project is distributed in
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
programs,documentation and makefiles, at the very least.
This license
was inspired by the BSD,
IJG (Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage
inclusion and
use of
free
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.
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.
