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