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

69 Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project',
70 and `FreeType archive' refer to the set of files originally
71 distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and
72 Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType Project', be they named as alpha,
73 beta or final release.
75 `You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where
76 `using' is a generic term including compiling the project's source
77 code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'.
