The FreeType Project LICENSE

2006-Jan-27
Copyright 1996-2002, 2006 by David Turner, Robert

Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg

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 fi les 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 makefi les, 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 specifi cally permit and encourage the inclusion

of this software, with or without modifi cations, 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. Defi nitions

Throughout this license, the terms `package’,

`FreeType Project’, and `FreeType archive’ refer

to the set of fi les originally distributed by the

authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and

Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType Project’, be

they named as alpha, beta or fi nal 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 fi les distributed in the

original FreeType Project, including all source

code, binaries and documentation, unless

otherwise stated in the fi le in its original,

unmodifi ed form as distributed in the original

archive.

If you are unsure whether or not a particular fi le

is covered by this license, you must contact us to

verify this.
