The FreeType Project LICENSE

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

`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.
