| michael@0 | 11 | Introduction |
| michael@0 | 12 | ============ |
| michael@0 | 13 | |
| michael@0 | 14 | The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages; |
| michael@0 | 15 | some of them may contain, in addition to the FreeType font engine, |
| michael@0 | 16 | various tools and contributions which rely on, or relate to, the |
| michael@0 | 17 | FreeType Project. |
| michael@0 | 18 | |
| michael@0 | 19 | This license applies to all files found in such packages, and |
| michael@0 | 20 | which do not fall under their own explicit license. The license |
| michael@0 | 21 | affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs, |
| michael@0 | 22 | documentation and makefiles, at the very least. |
| michael@0 | 23 | |
| michael@0 | 24 | This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG |
| michael@0 | 25 | (Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion |
| michael@0 | 26 | and use of free software in commercial and freeware products |
| michael@0 | 27 | alike. As a consequence, its main points are that: |
| michael@0 | 28 | |
| michael@0 | 29 | o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be |
| michael@0 | 30 | interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution) |
| michael@0 | 31 | |
| michael@0 | 32 | o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or |
| michael@0 | 33 | full form, without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage) |
| michael@0 | 34 | |
| michael@0 | 35 | o You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use |
| michael@0 | 36 | it, or only parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge |
| michael@0 | 37 | somewhere in your documentation that you have used the |
| michael@0 | 38 | FreeType code. (`credits') |
| michael@0 | 39 | |
| michael@0 | 40 | We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this |
| michael@0 | 41 | software, with or without modifications, in commercial products. |
| michael@0 | 42 | We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Project and |
| michael@0 | 43 | assume no liability related to The FreeType Project. |
| michael@0 | 44 | |
| michael@0 | 45 | |
| michael@0 | 46 | Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a |
| michael@0 | 47 | credit/disclaimer to use in compliance with this license. We thus |
| michael@0 | 48 | encourage you to use the following text: |
| michael@0 | 49 | |
| michael@0 | 50 | """ |
| michael@0 | 51 | Portions of this software are copyright © <year> The FreeType |
| michael@0 | 52 | Project (www.freetype.org). All rights reserved. |
| michael@0 | 53 | """ |
| michael@0 | 54 | |
| michael@0 | 55 | Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you |
| michael@0 | 56 | actually use. |

| michael@0 | 63 | -------------- |
| michael@0 | 64 | |
| michael@0 | 65 | Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project', |

| michael@0 | 67 | distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and |
| michael@0 | 68 | Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType Project', be they named as alpha, |
| michael@0 | 69 | beta or final release. |
| michael@0 | 70 | |
| michael@0 | 71 | `You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where |
| michael@0 | 72 | `using' is a generic term including compiling the project's source |
| michael@0 | 73 | code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'. |
| michael@0 | 74 | This program is referred to as `a program using the FreeType |
| michael@0 | 75 | engine'. |
| michael@0 | 76 | |
| michael@0 | 77 | This license applies to all files distributed in the original |
| michael@0 | 78 | FreeType Project, including all source code, binaries and |
| michael@0 | 79 | documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its |
| michael@0 | 80 | original, unmodified form as distributed in the original archive. |
| michael@0 | 81 | If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by |
| michael@0 | 82 | this license, you must contact us to verify this. |
| michael@0 | 83 | |

| michael@0 | 141 | material, only this license, or another one contracted with the |
| michael@0 | 142 | authors, grants you the right to use, distribute, and modify it. |
| michael@0 | 143 | Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the FreeType |
| michael@0 | 144 | Project, you indicate that you understand and accept all the terms |
| michael@0 | 145 | of this license. |
