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