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 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. 4. Contacts ----------- There are
two mailing lists related to FreeType: o freetype@nongnu.org Discusses general use and
applications of FreeType, as well as future and wanted additions to the library and
distribution. If you are looking for support, start in this list if you haven't found anything
