| michael@0 | 1 | |
| michael@0 | 2 | The FreeType 2 font engine is copyrighted work and cannot be used |
| michael@0 | 3 | legally without a software license. In order to make this project |
| michael@0 | 4 | usable to a vast majority of developers, we distribute it under two |
| michael@0 | 5 | mutually exclusive open-source licenses. |
| michael@0 | 6 | |
| michael@0 | 7 | This means that *you* must choose *one* of the two licenses described |
| michael@0 | 8 | below, then obey all its terms and conditions when using FreeType 2 in |
| michael@0 | 9 | any of your projects or products. |
| michael@0 | 10 | |
| michael@0 | 11 | - The FreeType License, found in the file `FTL.TXT', which is similar |
| michael@0 | 12 | to the original BSD license *with* an advertising clause that forces |
| michael@0 | 13 | you to explicitly cite the FreeType project in your product's |
| michael@0 | 14 | documentation. All details are in the license file. This license |
| michael@0 | 15 | is suited to products which don't use the GNU General Public |
| michael@0 | 16 | License. |
| michael@0 | 17 | |
| michael@0 | 18 | Note that this license is compatible to the GNU General Public |
| michael@0 | 19 | License version 3, but not version 2. |
| michael@0 | 20 | |
| michael@0 | 21 | - The GNU General Public License version 2, found in `GPLv2.TXT' (any |
| michael@0 | 22 | later version can be used also), for programs which already use the |
| michael@0 | 23 | GPL. Note that the FTL is incompatible with GPLv2 due to its |
| michael@0 | 24 | advertisement clause. |
| michael@0 | 25 | |
| michael@0 | 26 | The contributed BDF and PCF drivers come with a license similar to that |
| michael@0 | 27 | of the X Window System. It is compatible to the above two licenses (see |
| michael@0 | 28 | file src/bdf/README and src/pcf/README). |
| michael@0 | 29 | |
| michael@0 | 30 | The gzip module uses the zlib license (see src/gzip/zlib.h) which too is |
| michael@0 | 31 | compatible to the above two licenses. |
| michael@0 | 32 | |
| michael@0 | 33 | The MD5 checksum support (only used for debugging in development builds) |
| michael@0 | 34 | is in the public domain. |
| michael@0 | 35 | |
| michael@0 | 36 | |
| michael@0 | 37 | --- end of LICENSE.TXT --- |
