15Introduction
16============
17
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
21  FreeType Project.
22
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.
27
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:
32
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)
35
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)
38
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')
43
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.
48
49
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:
53
54   """
55    Portions of this software are copyright � <year> The FreeType
56    Project (www.freetype.org).  All rights reserved.
57   """
58
59  Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you
60  actually use.

65
660. Definitions
67--------------
68
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.
74
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'.
78  This  program is  referred to  as  `a program  using the  FreeType
79  engine'.
80
81  This  license applies  to all  files distributed  in  the original
82  FreeType  Project,   including  all  source   code,  binaries  and
83  documentation,  unless  otherwise  stated   in  the  file  in  its
84  original, unmodified form as  distributed in the original archive.
85  If you are  unsure whether or not a particular  file is covered by
86  this license, you must contact us to verify this.
87

1022. Redistribution
103-----------------
104
105  This  license  grants  a  worldwide, royalty-free,  perpetual  and
106  irrevocable right  and license to use,  execute, perform, compile,
107  display,  copy,   create  derivative  works   of,  distribute  and
108  sublicense the  FreeType Project (in  both source and  object code
109  forms)  and  derivative works  thereof  for  any  purpose; and  to
110  authorize others  to exercise  some or all  of the  rights granted
111  herein, subject to the following conditions:
112
113    o Redistribution of  source code  must retain this  license file
114      (`FTL.TXT') unaltered; any  additions, deletions or changes to
115      the original  files must be clearly  indicated in accompanying
116      documentation.   The  copyright   notices  of  the  unaltered,
117      original  files must  be  preserved in  all  copies of  source
118      files.
119
120    o Redistribution in binary form must provide a  disclaimer  that
121      states  that  the software is based in part of the work of the
122      FreeType Team,  in  the  distribution  documentation.  We also
123      encourage you to put an URL to the FreeType web page  in  your
124      documentation, though this isn't mandatory.
125
126  These conditions  apply to any  software derived from or  based on
127  the FreeType Project,  not just the unmodified files.   If you use
128  our work, you  must acknowledge us.  However, no  fee need be paid
129  to us.
130
1313. Advertising
132--------------
133
134  Neither the  FreeType authors and  contributors nor you  shall use
135  the name of the  other for commercial, advertising, or promotional
136  purposes without specific prior written permission.
137
138  We suggest,  but do not require, that  you use one or  more of the
139  following phrases to refer  to this software in your documentation
140  or advertising  materials: `FreeType Project',  `FreeType Engine',
141  `FreeType library', or `FreeType Distribution'.
142
143  As  you have  not signed  this license,  you are  not  required to
144  accept  it.   However,  as  the FreeType  Project  is  copyrighted
145  material, only  this license, or  another one contracted  with the
146  authors, grants you  the right to use, distribute,  and modify it.
147  Therefore,  by  using,  distributing,  or modifying  the  FreeType
148  Project, you indicate that you understand and accept all the terms
149  of this license.
