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:
